The Social Work Companion

Reviews / Votes

Thompson and Thompson step through, in a gentle but informative manner, the broad contexts of social work processes, skills, values and knowledge bases that inform the profession. Like a good mentor, the book both challenges and supports the reader on a journey of continuous learning. Engaging and accessible, Thompson and Thompson prompt critical thinking and awareness about being a social worker in the 21st century. - Dr Janice Pascal, Health and Social Care, Bishop Grosseteste University (UK) This comprehensive compendium of considerations provides a really useful guide for those students preparing for and undertaking social work qualifying education programmes. It will open up the pantheon of knowledge which informs social work practice for many of the next generation of practitioners. - Dr Wulf Livingston, Senior Lecturer in Social Work, Glyndwr University (UK)
