"The biggest challenge in teaching Introduction to Social Work is finding the time to teach all of the areas necessary for students to make a well-informed decision regarding a Social Work major.

The vignettes and narratives infuse ethics and diversity and prompt students to engage in critical thinking....Will this text be available for Fall 2002?"

Reseña del editor

This exciting new introductory text by Karen K. Kirst-Ashman enhances students' ability to grasp the essence and spirit of generalist social work and the issues in social welfare that social workers address everyday. Intended to give students contemplating a career in social work a solid introduction to the profession, Kirst-Ashman presents a balanced, introductory look at the profession, practice concepts, social welfare policy concepts, the history and current concerns of the profession of social work, contexts and populations served, and student development. The book also presents a unifying theme of critical thinking, intended to train students to be more evaluative earlier on in their career.
