Social Work

Issued for the first time in the subject dictionary range, this is the second edition of what has become an established set text in the field of social works studies (45 out of 96 British universities now run courses on social work).


Fully revised and updated, the new edition of the Collins Dictionary of Social Work includes much new material on Britain's constantly evolving social landscape, giving concise and comprehensible explanations in jargon-free language of the most important social work terms, and is designed particularly for students in further and higher education who are preparing for careers in child care, psychiatric nursing, residential care, community care, counselling, the probation service, and social work.
