What Your Colleagues Are Saying:

"Students love [this text] because it covers so much and they feel they have some framework on which to build their clinical skills." -- Mary Hart, University of Wyoming

"The authors comprehensively cover the NASW Code of Ethics. The specific information included is quite appropriate in order for social work practitioners to gain a solid understanding of practice expectations related to values and ethics." -- Vanessa Hunn, University of Kentucky, Lexington

"I think the 'Voices from the Field' sections do a particularly good job of showing the diversity not only of social workers themselves, but also the variety of types of jobs that they perform." -- Julie Emmer, University of Central Florida
