This two volume set provides a rich understanding of person, environment and time unmatched in other texts, and are acutely sensitive to difference, diversity and the mission of social work. The texts provide an integrated micro//macro perspective on human behaviour. Insights into human behaviour from biology, the physical environment, and the humanities add a dimension to these texts not found elsewhere. Numerous teaching aids show students what happens in real practice and how to prepare for it.
An Instructor's Resource Guide for both volumes is available to adopters who request it on their departments' or organizations' letterhead.
