Call to Social Work: Life Stories

"The Call to Social Work" is a great supplement to courses such as introduction to social work and social welfare, and social work practice. It can also be used in practicum/field courses to give students a better understanding of what various types of social workers do in daily practice. The text provides stories of real social workers with many different backgrounds, and is designed to help students to better understand the profession. Changes to the second edition include: Introductions to each chapter written by the author; end of chapter features that will help students apply what they have learned from each story; the addition of some newer, contemporary stories; photos of the contributors; more descriptive chapter titles; and, reorganization of stories to fall under major fields of practice.
