Foundations of Social Work Practice

A Graduate Text, 4th Edition

This new edition of an already excellent book provides a contemporary, nuanced portrait of our profession. Mattaini and Lowery, and their stellar co-authors, draw on new research and theory to help students and educators grasp the multiple dimensions of agency-based practice. Illustrated with graphs and vividly written, the fourth edition of Foundations of Practice makes a compelling case that professionalism, cultural competence and social justice are inseparable from practice methods.
