A Very Good Mid-Range Cost Text-Book

Malcolm Payne's book is widely used as a text book in social work theory courses in Aotearoa New Zealand. Its strength is its breadth and concise coverage of major theory's from a social constructionist perspective. The text's use of language can at times make it difficult to follow in places despite this it has been my experience that most social work students I have taught find it a valuable book to have invested in.

A brilliant book!!

This book gives you a true and infomative insight into the running of society's helping organisations. I highly recommend it for volunteers, social work or welfare students/workers.
