Description
Part of the popular Controversial Issues series, this paperback text presents a series of debates on the most current issues and topics in the area of social work practice. This book will help students and instructors at every level to think through issues that may arise in everyday practice, such as whether social workers should support the use of hypnosis, whether repressed memory therapy should be relied upon, whether clinical social workers should be licensed, and more. The format stimulates discussion and critical thinking, and will help students appreciate some of the complex clinical as well as ethical issues that arise in practice and will encourage them to think through these issues for themselves.
