Social Work and Social Welfare An

Underscoring the belief that approaches to social welfare have changed over the decades, while the needs to which the social work profession respond remain much the same, the authors offer a book that helps readers develop a frame of reference to understand social welfare and an approach to address social issues which will serve them well in times of commitment and retrenchment.
