This is a whole course introduction to Social Work. Packed full of case studies, activities and tools for real-life practice, this practical book will equip social work students with everything they need to know in their first year and beyond.

Many students struggle when it comes to incorporating theories of human growth and behaviour into their practice. This book takes students right back to basics, explaining and analysing key theories in an accessible way before going on to discuss, in detail, how theory can be incorporated into every day social work practice.
