Rezensionen
" Reading this handsome new encyclopaedia it is hard not to feel renewed conviction in the social work mission. From cover to cover the commitment and depth of understanding, the skills and interventions come tumbling out in an exciting, revivifying cascade-effective tonic for jaded cynicism.

Throughout the volume the vision and achievement of the editor are evident in the emphasis on constructive thinking and diversity of opinion." John Pierson, Staffordshire University

"Davies s well designed encyclopedia surveys the field of social work and is related discipline." Choice

"The Encyclopaedia does fulfill its aim: to provide accurate, up-to-date and lively explications of key topics in social work and in fields that are closely related to social work theory or practice. The Encyclopaedia successfully encompasses both the value base of social work and its evidence base ... I think it is a very useful and innovative volume ... It is a rich source of information about the broad church which is social work." Journal of Social Work
