This was my textbook required read for my Child Welfare Class. For a textbook, this was probably one of the most engaging I have read for reasons that I cannot even begin to get into. Extremely graphic and very emotion evoking, for a textbook. Extremely sad.
Anyone involved in CPS, DCFS, or DSCC would understand what I meant.
The book also offers many interactive study tools, media assets that help the reader to apply the concepts to real-life, links to videos, interactive skill modules, social work in the news (very up to date).

It's a textbook so it's expected data will be outdated, but oh my god? It was written in 2014 with language that should've been offensive then too. Also a lot of stereotyping of cultures, classes, genders, and sexual orientations. Idk if I can say I even learned much from this book other than I'm glad it's done.

Trying to reach my Goodreads goal. 3 stars because this is a literal textbook, but overall informative. Read 7th edition
