Reviews
With various case vignettes and practice notes by diverse practitioners, I believe that this book will be appreciated and enjoyed by those who seek to understand the Indigenous, English, and French realities of social work practice in Canada. --Akin Taiwo, King's University College at Western University The Ives, Denov, and Sussman text conveys social work practice in its complexity, while retaining a focus on social work's social justice goals. This text is able to do this partly through providing more depth of information and detail, and also by offering more complex discussions that are anchored in historical analysis and that integrate theory with practice. --Barbara Heron, York University Overall I found the chapters to all have a balance of historical foundation information, links to theory and clear practice skills needed for social work, support with the real voices, and real examples from the field. --Rhea Del Vecchio, University of British Columbia
