Overview

Social work is a career like no other. Where a counsellor will coach an individual through their internal struggles, a social worker will look beyond this and consider their relationships, family structure, community environment and the policies that impact them. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in social work as well as for anyone who wants to learn more about how others live. The book depicts the trials & tribulations, life-changing situations and gratifying outcomes of cases that were worked on by a social worker who conducts home visits. The author, a social worker who has been doing fieldwork throughout New York City for years, takes the reader on a rare journey behind closed doors and into her clients' lives. Although this book is intended for students and professionals in the social service field, it is good reading for everyone, no matter your profession, because it shows human nature in the raw--at its worst, and at its best. You will also learn how difficult and complex situations are handled by experienced and compassionate social work professionals.
