Theoretical Perspectives for Direct Social Work Practice: A Generalist-Eclectic Approach

by Nick Coady, Peter Lehmann

"Finally, a social work practice text that makes a difference! This is the book that you have wished for but could never find. Although similar to texts that cover a range of practice theories and approaches to clinical practice, this book clearly has a social work frame of reference and a social work identity...Lehmann and Coady have put together an edited book that reads with coherence and integrity. Their contributions to the first three chapters and the final chapter set the conceptual framework and draw a logical conclusion to the 17 chapters provided by well-known content experts."
—Gayla Rogers, Dean of the Faculty of Social Work, University of Calgary

Theory can be dry! But it's actually pretty good!

[Breyanna · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best social work textbook that I've encountered so far. This is so much useful information in here!

[Maddy M-N · Rating 3 out of 5]

Had some good information, but the chapters could have been 10 pages shorter than they are. Way too much repetition.

This is far from an intriguing read, but it certainly provides useful information.
