Focusing on the construction of such realities as poverty, racism, and domestic violence, this work counters the focus on individual change that is so common in managed care and corporatization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a refreshing book. It provides an excellent comprehensive framework for social work practice that has its roots in the profession's historical emphasis between person and society. It will make an excellent text for direct practice courses. -- Richard L.
