REVIEW

THE BOOK WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND I RECEIVED IT SOONER THAN ANTICIPATED. I'M A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER.

Exhaustive detail

This book is certainly very complete and authoritative; but it goes into such extreme detail that it is tedious to read. My classmates and I soon fell behind in our reading assignments because the chapters seem to go on forever and the organization of the chapters is not very clear. It tends to seem like pages and pages of similar details. The book could be greatly improved by highlighting important concepts and definitions, a more visually identifiable hierarchy of sub-headings, and concise chapter summaries. The diagrams that explain the generalist intervention model, however, are excellent, and I still have them in my mind's eye for reference, even after finishing the course.

Excellent and practical text for social work students

I am a fourth year social work student at Ryerson Polytechnic Universtity. I just finished a 22 page essay, and used the generalist intervention model as the theoretical framework. Highly recommend!
