Faces of Social Policy: A Strengths Perspective

Rating:
Summary: Outstanding Historical Overview of Social Work
Review: The authors, Carolyn Tice and Kathleen Perkins, have uniquely organized key events in social work history in terms of analyzing and shaping policy from a strengths perspective.This perspective provides a useful organizing framework for teaching concepts germane to social policy action. The content is beautifully infused with poems (such as excerpts from Maya Angelou) and narratives from clients and oppressed populations. This book provides an excellent adjunct to a course on social welfare or policy.
