Review

"An excellent introduction to present day social work which does not patronise or compromise readers, or avoid dealing with the diversity and complexity of the tasks facing practitioners in today's world. Robert Adams should be congratulated for his achievement." Dr. Carol Lewis, Visiting Fellow, School of Health and Social Care, Bournemouth University "This is a well-crafted book by one of social work's leading authors. It provides an excellent introduction to the field. I particularly welcome the emphasis on social justice. " Neil Thompson, Avenue Consulting Ltd

This book is what it says in the title, It is a good short guide. I bought this book before the start of my course, i found it useful regarding social work but not for studying; don't let that put you off. It is also a quick and easy read which covers different areas within social work. I am sure i will refer back to it throughout my time doing placements etc.

Great for anyone wanting to go into the field but are not quite sure what it's about. Short and simple to understand but also useful.
