Social Work Skills Demonstrated: Beginning Direct Practice [With CDROM]

This is a good introductory book in to the skills needed as a social worker. Although it is written for America this is very applicable to anyone studying social work. It is very clear, concise, explains its points well and doesn't get bogged down in terminology. Very easy to read and doesn't use highly formal discourse in its presentation so even people new to social work will be able to fully appreciate the ideas within the book. That said it is very practical and gives a lot of 'food for thought' for the more experienced social worker to reflect, review and relearn some of those skills we take for granted. Thank you for a well written book, it is making my studies a lot less painful for it!
