This is an excellent book I will recommend for all students regardless of their placement type. It draws on the cores skills and values of social work, but in an accessible and readily translatable manner.

I really liked this book. Whilst SW students are unlikely to be called on to provide counselling, the skills that this book encourages students to develop are invaluable, backed up with clear explanations and a sound knowledge/value base. I will encourage students from yr 1 undergraduates through to Master's level students to read this book.

With the pressures on the social work curriculum to include vast amounts of material on law, policy, needs and practice settings it is very welcome to see a book on a method of intervention. This book is practical, clearly written and useful. I particularly liked the chapter divisions and the inclusion of challenging as well as empathic skills.

Good clear book. Useful that it includes the professional capabilities framework for social work.

Excellent mix of exercises, tips for Practice, and underpinning theories. This should prove very popular with students on our Social work degree
