"This is the perfect intro social work text! I love that there is an entire chapter devoted to poverty. Students are provided with a thorough understanding of practice at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels, including the opportunities and challenges facing today's social work profession. It is comprehensive, interesting, and accessible."--Jessica Ritter, Social Work, Pacific University "This third edition of Social Work and Social Welfareis an outstanding text for social work students. It has numerous topics ranging from the history of social welfare to practice with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. The end of each chapter has a summary of main points and exercises. This text is useful for social work students because, among other topics, it provides history, poverty, social work environment, values and ethics, diversity, types of practice, practice groups, work with families, other groups, communities, and organizations. Every social worker needs knowledge about these topics."--Ski Hunter, Social Work, University of Texas, Arlington "Highlighting the connection between politics, social programs, and social and economic justice raises thought-provoking questions that all future social workers must consider. The interactive case studies represent a well-chosen range of challenges and problems and will help my students understand and apply social work methods at all levels of practice."--Joy Swanson Ernst, Social Work, Hood College "Berg-Weger's introduction text breaks down complex principles into manageable sections. The concepts are well organized and the exercises at the end of each chapter provide practical examples to enhance student learning. My students are inspired by the case studies and practice experiences to explore the field of social work."--Danilea Werner, Sociology, Anthropology, & Social Work, Auburn University, "This is the perfect intro social work text!
