The most popular and trusted compendium for five decades, Turner's Social Work Treatment explores the full range of theoretical approaches that drive social work treatment and knowledge development; it is an essential A-to-Z reference for all social workers, regardless of their speciality or setting. This is a comprehensive book on social work theory that show various theories' application to social work practice. It reads easily and takes a fresh perspective on even the most dated theories, exploring major theoretical perspectives in a broad manner rather than separating out and explaining the many branches and revisions of major theory; this helps students who may be befuddled by the myriad theories, perspectives, and lenses typically offered by social work theory classes.
