The Field of Social Work

By Arthur E. Fink and Andrew W. Dobelstein

Book Overview

The eighth edition of this classic textbook confronts students with two central issues of the profession of social work: How do can social workers help people deal with personal misfortune? and What can social workers do to help bring about a just society? Answers to these questions come from the books four main sections. The Field of Social Work is an excellent text for an introductory course in social work. It provides the student with a general introduction to the principles of social work, and proceeds to applications of specific social work methods, providing case studies that illustrate the applications of these methods.
