Publisher Synopsis
What Colleagues are Saying: "The value of the text for me is that it does not focus on a particular area or issue, but provides the skills future social workers need to evaluate areas of interest or need in practice." -- Iris Phillips, University of Southern Indiana "Chapter one does an excellent job of presenting problem definition, causes, ideology/values, and gainers/losers. Item 4, Dangers in Half-Dime Novels and Story Papers is a fantastic exercise!" -- Iris Phillips, University of Southern Indiana "Overall the students find the writing clear and concise and the concepts engaging and useful. The policy framework provided by the author is one of their favorite frameworks for policy analysis." -- Roger E.
