The content is quite easy to understand and this facilitates easy application of the theories.
This is an excellent text. I highly recommended it to students who are embarking on their final year projects and dissertations. It is challenging and enables students to reach deeper levels of understanding of social phenemona.
Valuable reading for social work students in second and third year of study. Main theories, theorists and key ideas that have influenced social work practice have been included.
Informative and detailed, a good introduction/supplementary theory/methodology based text book.
Essential reading for all Theories and Methods modules.
This book is applied for the course of Social Work Theory for third year students and Perspectives for Social Work Practice for master students. I am happy with this book as essential information and readings for the whole course. Currently there is not any book in social work theory in Vietnamese. The book is being introduced in Vietnam Social Work Network at http://socialwork.vn for reference
Excellent chapters on Evidence based practice and attachment have been well received by students in this recommended text.
Another great revised edition which clearly applies complex theoretcial frameworks & methods to SW practice.
A good supplementary read for any SW (under or postgraduate) student struggling with their application / understanding / relevancy of SW theories in everyday practice.
For students and NQSW it is very useful book explaining all the theories and methods used in social work.
A useful addition to the recommended reading for M Prof students
A great book - authoritative and clear
A valuable contribution to helping students understand and apply a range of social work theories to their practice.
This is a comprehensive volume which presents important theories and contemporary pespectives in an easy to read and engaging manner.
Praise for the first edition:
'An excellent book that provides a good deal of valuable material to stimulate debate and to alert readers of the need to engage more critically with the wider world in which social work is located.

Excellent reading. Strong theoretical basis and provides Social Work students with a scholarly text for more in depth study
This is a great book in that it outlines all the theories and methods used in social work. It is nicely written, easy to follow and I think my students will appreciate that.
This book critically questions how we practice and think about social work.
With three new chapters, the new edition includes a focus on the psychosocial perspective. Each chapter allows the reader to relate the theories and methods discussed to their own personal experiences.
An excellent text book which is fully comprehensive. This book will provide an invaluable source of reference for social work students at post graduate and undergraduate levels.
Good presentation of key ideas for social work theories and methods.
