Description and Table of Contents
Description
An established best-seller, Modern Social Work Theory has been substantially rewritten to offer a thoroughly up-to-date, comprehensive and critical review of social work theory that draws more fully on world literature. It includes two completely new chapters on social and community development and on anti-discriminatory and anti-oppressive theory, as well as more substantial coverage of group and residential work. It also contains new material on the social construction perspective, on postmodern views of social work theory and on the relationship between theory and practice.
