Product Description
Review
"An excellent, balanced introduction to key themes both sociological and psychological - one of the bext introductory books in this area"- Teaching Fellow, University of Leeds
Product Description
It is necessary for social work students to understand fully how people develop and how the different stages of life, from birth to older adulthood, require them to use different skills and approaches. Covering all stages of the life course, this essential guide looks at the ways in which people develop before birth, as babies and children, through to adolescence and on to young, middle and older adulthood. With this knowledge embedded, social workers are able to establish and maintain effective partnerships with both service users and other professionals.

This book was on my recommended reading list and I'm pleased I bought it. It can be a bit bewildering starting a social work degree and this book is an invaluable help. It is written in plain English and concentrates on the important issues of the module. I was worried that I wasn't really getting to grips with my course, but reading this gave me confidence.
There are lots of case studies which bring theories into the context of 'real life'. It also has handy research summaries and further reading suggestions should you want to learn more about a particular aspect of the subject.
This is a must-have buy!
