How to be a Social Worker

Description

This textbook equips social work students with the tools to develop a social work identity. It provides a critical examination of the knowledge base of social work – from human growth and development to social work research – and explores how a practitioner’s own values, principles, and experience combine to shape their social work identity and practice alongside this.

Linked to a range of core modules on pre-qualifying social work programmes but written also for those practitioners committed to nurturing their own social work identities, How to be a Social Worker is a must-have text. From one of social work's most up-and-coming authors, this book brings together all areas of the classroom and practice curriculum to make learning a novel, creative, and interactive process.
