Recenzje

Canda and Furman's book is without a doubt the oldest and in many ways the best in terms of generalist social work practice at BSW and MSW levels. I was recently asked at our international conference in my Presidential Address for the Society for Spirituality and Social Work which book on spirituality and social work is best for undergraduates and the answer is clear; it's Canda and Furman's Spiritual Diversity in Social Work Practice." - Helen Land, University of Southern California
