Reviews

"This is a remarkable book, solidly grounded in theory, evidence, ethics, and the realities of practice across a variety of child-serving settings. It is a joy to read, in part because of the author's ease and confident command of the topic, but also because it rings so true in its portrayal of social work practice." - Kim Strom-Gottfried, UNC Chapel Hill
