Description
In this introduction to human services, readers explore topics such as serving the whole person, using an interdisciplinary approach, the interaction between helper and client, training generalists, and empowering clients. Intended to be introductory rather than encyclopaedic, the book presents basic information and includes brief case studies, primary source material, and suggested readings designed to encourage students to use other books, electronic materials and media resources to enrich their knowledge of the introductory-course content.
