A new series of books for those undertaking the social work degree. It has been conceived with those undertaking the degree at Masters level in mind but will also appeal to those in years 2/3 of the undergraduate degree and possibly those in the early stages of their professional career. The content of the books focuses on material related to the degree and will help prepare students for their professional practice. Whilst the books explain relevant theory and research thoroughly, there is also an emphasis on how this is then applied in practice.
