Finally! A pedagogical strategy that harnesses the true nature of social work practice as an applied science! This book is a wonderful compilation of complex decision cases designed to challenge each student in different ways, allowing them to test new decision-making paradigms in a psychologically safe and supportive style. I look forward to incorporating these cases into all of my social work practice courses.
--Ali Winters, DSW, LCSW, Assistant Professor, Social Work, Tennessee State University
The decision-making, case method approach to teaching in this book is superior to other case examples that tell students what to think or how to think. The case examples highlight the complexity of social work practice at all levels while assisting students to develop enhanced decision making skills. I am excited to try some of these case examples and the case method approach in the classroom. This book should be adopted and utilized within social work curriculum.
