The book is divided into three parts, with the first part providing an overview of the history and development of social work as a profession. The second part focuses on the educational requirements for social work, including the necessary skills and knowledge that students should acquire during their studies. The third part of the book examines the practical applications of social work education, including the role of fieldwork and internships in preparing students for the realities of the profession.Throughout the book, Steiner emphasizes the importance of social work as a means of addressing social inequality and promoting social justice. He argues that education for social work should be grounded in a deep understanding of the social, economic, and political factors that contribute to social problems, and that social workers should be equipped with the tools and skills necessary to address these issues effectively.Overall, ""Education for Social Work"" is a seminal work in the field of social work education, providing a comprehensive overview of the profession and its educational requirements.
