'Herbert succeeds brilliantly...showing his long experience in teaching psychology to social work students and his up-to-date critical knowledge of disparate fields of psychology'. Issues in Social Work Education Psychology for Social Workers has become the standard recommended text for most social work training courses. This new and totally revised edition takes account of recent changes, and includes a new section on bonding which reflects the latest research, and a practical guide to behavioural casework with children and adolescents. Drawing on a wide range of case studies and clinical psychology, this book shows how psychological theory and research can contribute to social work practice.
