Furthermore, it emphasises the influence of social contexts on behaviour and well-being, as well as valuing and encouraging the application of practitioners' prior experience and learning (APEL) to new knowledge and understanding. Containing a range of practice examples to stimulate learning, this book promotes a collaboration between the professions, and welcomes the contributions of people who use services, patients, and clients.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommunication and Interviewing Skills for Practice in Social Work, Couns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'A good basic textbook for both students and those with many years of experience.

The book discusses intersectionality, and this is so important. Intersectionality should be covered on training for all the professions.
