Segal, Gerdes and Steiner's AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PROFESSION OF SOCIAL WORK provides a balanced overview of the social work profession and helps students understand its role in the social welfare system. The authors' supportive tone and experiential approach inspire interest in and enthusiasm for careers in social work. Case studies, personal stories and exercises help students apply concepts and understand what it means to be a social worker. The book also encourages knowledge building and self-exploration skills that are essential in developing good social work practice. Part of the Brooks/Cole Empowerment Series, the sixth edition is up to date and thoroughly integrates the core competencies and recommended practice behaviors outlined in the most recent Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) set by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).
