Opis

Designed to mirror how social work theory and practice is taught, this textbook presents new therapeutic models through an imaginary family, 'the Shores', experiencing problems with mental illness, child abuse, unemployment and marital dysfunction.

Recenzje

"Dr. Dorfman has once again produced a volume of significance to the ongoing advancement of theory and practice. Her sensitive understanding of the necessity of an approach to clinical practice built on a premise of theoretical diversity is a welcomed and critically important contribution."

-Francis J. Turner, D.S.W., C.S.W."
