Description
This Handbook is the world's first generic major reference work to provide an authoritative guide to the theory, method, and values of social work in one volume.

Split into seven parts, the Handbook investigates: - Policy dimensions - Practice - Perspectives - Values and ethics - The context of social work - Research - Future challenges It is essential reading for all students, practitioners, researchers, and academics engaged in social work.
