A wonderful integration

This book provides an aoustanding integration of contemporary clinical theory, practice theory, and basic casework. Often MSW students fail to understand the clinical significance of direct services (often we don't tell them) and make apologies for that kind of work.Dr. Applegate brings the somewhat amorphous ideas of Winnicottinto practical and applicable focus in a manner that demonstrates the wisdom and heart of social work.
