Social Work Theory and Practice
"This 'user friendly' book will underpin the teaching and learning of social work theory and practice; the book considers risk and protection factors against background of capacity and incapacity issues. Case studies provided throughout the book link theory to practice." Lecturer, Anglia Ruskin University
