Riassunto:

This best-selling text continues to offer a comprehensive introduction to the field of social work with a unique focus on the diverse groups to whom social workers provide services, including children, older adults, disabled persons, and members of minority racial and ethnic groups. Social Work: A Profession of Many Faces, now in its Tenth Edition, has educated approximately 150,000 students since 1977. This text includes historical material on the emergence of social work as a profession, the areas and groups where human services are provided, and career opportunities for social workers today. The book reflects up-to-date empirical data about where social workers are employed, what positions they hold, what personal characteristics they bring to their practice, and the competencies required to perform their work.

“I can always rely on the currency of data and information in the Morales and Sheafor text. Having frequent updated editions of the text makes it an attractive text selection. Social Work is an area that is constantly changing and evolving and it is very important to have a text that presents current data and information.”
