Customer Reviews

fast delivery!

I received my book in the condition and time limit as promised! very happy with this seller.

Excellent condition, short wait time

At first I was concerned because the web site listed a substantial wait time before the text could be shipped, but I ended up receiving it within two weeks. The book arrived in excellent condition.

Good book!

This book is compact with great information :) It's laid out nicely so it's easy to follow. The only down fall is there are some phrases that aren't explained well (i.e. additive empathy) but are used regularly. Overall, a good textbook for beginners :)

Excellent if it was not for this one thing.

This is an excellent introduction to social work practice with many useful tips on individual, family and group assessment and intervention. I highly recommend this book. But it really is too bad and sad that they have decided to cut a chapter (chapter14 of the sixth edition) on problem solving, assertiveness and stress management.

Good for beginners in practice/good resource for veterans

I had this book last semester as a MSW student at WVU. I have found it useful as a resource guide for my current practice as a family-based therapist as well. I would recommend this book to all those out there in practice.Deborah M. Migyanko, BSW
