  • analyzes the skills and knowledge required to practice effectively;
  • highlights the dynamic nature of anti-discriminatory practice and points the way towards a new practice dimension.

This is an excellent text for providing a full introduction to anti-discrimination in social work. I found the 'Points to Ponder' particularly useful as they were really thought-provoking questions for students.

A very readable text, introduces the subject at a pace that takes the student along with it. The chapter on integrating anti-discriminatory practice into the work situation is extremely good.

A good general text covering a diverse range of topics relevant to anti-discriminatory practice. Counsellors will find the text useful as general reading with information directly relevant to counselling practice.

A concise & accessible text which clearly explains the key concepts of ADP, within the context of theory, method & skill.

I particularly enjoyed the applied practice - orientated chapters e.g. 3, 6, 7 & 8; plus the 'points to ponder' sections which facilitate critical reflection & person centred - practice. An invaluable teaching aide and a key reference text for undergraduate social work students.
