Trade ReviewThe difference this book makes is in helping workers, not necessarily to know what is right or wrong, but helping them to know what questions to ask in order to ask increasingly better questions. This text provides a framework for the readers to consider their thinking in a balanced manner … I will recommend this book to students both at undergraduate and post-graduate levels … I enjoyed reading this book and will keep coming back to it. * Hellmuth Weich, The British Journal of Social Work, Vol. 48 (5) *
