What Reviewers Are Saying "The approach [of "Understanding Social Welfare"] is among the best. . . . I would not use another text." -George T. Patterson, "New York University" "I consider it a great strength that this text incorporates the diversity component throughout the text, which is so essential to the social work curriculum. . . . An awareness of this diversity affords the student a valuable perspective and a broader context to evaluate our own state of social policy." -Sheli Bernstein-Goff, "West Liberty State College" [ Insert MyHelpingLab Advertisement ]
