Rating: 5 / 5
This is a great textbook for classroom teaching. The author explains Theory relative to history and proceeds to explain in detail each theory used in social work. Clinical social work in assessment and intervention becomes clearer as you proceed through the book. Examples of conversations taken from clinical cases explain the process of using the theories and places the social worker in the situation. I would recommend this book to anyone who is teaching a class in Direct Practice. Very easy to understand and it flows evenly from chapter to chapter.

Not the best book on the market, but has a comprehensive review of the essential theories and interventions.
