received book provides a key quick reference work for students, and
new and experienced practitioners. The succinct resumes of current

to get to grips with the wide range of key concepts and terms used
in social work, social care, law and health services. This book is
highly recommended for its wide-ranging set of summaries which are
valuable in first encounters with, or updating of, knowledge in

"This "Dictionary of Social Work" provides a comprehensive and
authoritative guide to the terminology used in social work. The
evidence based entries are cross-referenced and informed by up to
date legislation. Very detailed and useful contextual information
are included and the reader is directed to other sources of
information. This dictionary is a must read for all social work
students, practitioners and academics and should be included on all
social work reading lists."
Dr Frank Keating, Senior Lecturer In Health and Social Care, Royal
Holloway University of London
"I consider this to be an invaluable handbook of social work
knowledge which is highly accessible, informative and concise. Many
will be surprised by the content which exceeds expectation as it
goes much further than a standard dictionary, offering
understanding and initial analysis of a range of difficult
concepts. This is a 'must have' reference text which social work
students will carry with them throughout their degree studies. An
essential instrument for navigating through the vast range of
subject matter confronting social work students. One of few of its
type, its features will ensure it remains a highly attractive
acquisition."
Martin Sheedy, Senior Lecturer, Centre for Social Work, Liverpool
John Moores University
" With over 1500 entries, this popular dictionary provides
concise and up to date explanations of the theories, approaches and
terminology that define front-line social work and social care.
These entries explain, in jargon-free language, how key concepts
can be used to improve practice. Clear explanations outline
significant developments such as Every Child Matters and the
personalization of adult services.
Entries are helpfully cross referenced and are evidence based.
They reflect professional values and are written by specialists in
the field, with a specific focus on the most recent legislation and
policy guidance from government.
This book is a key reference for students in further and higher
education who are preparing for careers in social work, community
care, residential care, child care, the probation service,
counselling, and psychiatric nursing.
