Social Workers Count is a wonderful introduction to the quantitative reasoning and technique that is so often necessary to the understanding of social welfare policy. Written in a conversational tone and ranging over all of the most important social welfare policy issues, Lewis' analysis is nuanced and precise, and his logic impeccable. After reading this book, social workers need no longer be silenced or intimidated by the prospect of a quantitative approach to this
subject matter."
