ReviewsThe authors have taken a vast range of relevant material and delivered an enlightening and provocative resource for students and others dealing with the complexities of child welfare today. Daniel Pollack, Professor, Wurzweiler School of Social Work, Yeshiva University. Child Welfare: Preparing Social Workers for Practice in the Field is a comprehensive and practical blending of theory, practice, and policy in this critical arena of social work. The authors use multiple case examples and describe pertinent court decisions to explain the evolution and challenges of child welfare services. The examples bring cases to life and worksheets and drawings illustrate the kinds of tasks with which social workers must deal. I was particularly impressed with the discussion about mandated reporting, assessment using the person-in-environment model, and the difficulties of youth aging out of foster care. I believe that the book represents a solid addition to the knowledge base of social work and that students will find it compelling reading. Grafton H. Hull Jr, Professor Emeritus at the University of Utah College of Social Work
