'Social Work Placements is a much needed addition to the student social worker's basic survival equipment. Here the varied bag of classroom teaching and venerable tomes of social work theory and method meet the reality of social work practice. I'm sure that this book will go on to be a minor classic in its field that helps students, practice educators and academics to orient to the needs and demands of practice learning.' - Sandy Fraser, Open University, UK 'Mark Doel's innovative and visual 'Rough Guide' style leads novices (students) and seasoned explorers (practice teachers and supervisors) through the complex terrain of practice learning. This is a 'must have' placement guide using the author's collected wisdom and research to paint an accessible, clear and practice centred path to learning.' - Jonathan Parker, Bournemouth University, UK
