Satisfaction guaranteed

This textbook was exactly like the description. It arrived in a timely manner according to the specified time for shipping. It looked new and in very good condition. The only problem that I had was that the description of the book didn't include the edition, so when I received it, I noticed that it wasn't the edition that I needed. I have since ordered the older edition and returned the newer one. HOpefully I won't have any problems with the refund of my money. Thanks KK in Houston

Became my Case Management bible.......

This is a text you will use day in a day out--never give it away, you will be sorry. I love the text's format. The ethics exercises, hypothetical client needs exercises, practice exercises for every chapter, and forms in the appendix are all fantastic/brilliant. This is a must need tool for case management.

Great Book!

I really liked this book as it is very easy to read and understand. I found it to be very informative, educational, and a must read for anyone working within the human services field.

Great Sourcebook for Teachers

This particular item is an excellent overview of case management practice for beginning and experienced case managers alike. Every aspect of case management practice from definitions to professional boundary issues and ethics to listening skills is covered. While this volume handles each topic in depth, the writing is straight-forward and no-nonsense. This combination makes the information necessary for a thourough discussion on the topic very accessible even to the novice. Chapter 1 entitled "Ethics and Other Professional Responsibilitities for Human Services Workers" provides a strong base for the subsequent discussions which follow. Chapters 6 and & 7, "Seeing Yourself as a Separate Person" and "Clarifying Who Owns the Problem", flush out issues which need to be addressed in today's expanding market of paraprofessional services.This book is a good resource for the shelves of those already working as case managers and a great text for students preparing themselves for work in the field of human services.
