Social work resource

Do you have interns at your work place and you have been chosen by the gods to direct them? Do you vacilate from total awe to pure terror due to your ignorance when your interns throw buzz terms and ideas at you because you have not set foot in a colledge class room for three decades or more? If so... well, it is time to brush up and throw ideas and terms at them! Read these articles provided and have fun by throwing out questions like "Ah...that is a good point but what do you think of this case in the light of a cognitive/ behavioral mind set!" Get these encyclopedias and brush up on your social work theories and ideas today! I love them and use these for ideas for on going teaching classes too!

This book helped me BEYOND BELIEF in studying and passing my LCSW exam.

This book helped me beyond belief in studying and passing my LCSW exam. Since it is an "encyclopidia" you probably will need other books to study with as well, but while studying that stuff, every time I came to a term that I couldn't exactly remember I'd look it up in here and it would explain it to me and explain its relationship to social work the historical concept in which the term came to be. Toward the end of my studying I just began going through the encycolpedia concept by concept and reading all of the information regarding a tough subject for me. It was like the most comprehensive set of flash cards I could ever have imagined!!
