What Reviewers Are Saying "The approach [ofUnderstanding 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. . . .
