Social Work and Human Development (Paperback, 3rd Revised edition)

It is necessary that social work students fully understand how people develop and how the different stages of life, from birth to older adulthood, require them to utilize different skills and approaches. Covering all stages of the life course, this essential guide looks at the ways in which people develop before birth, as babies and children, through to adolescence, and on to young, middle, and older adulthood. With this knowledge embedded, social workers are able to establish and maintain effective partnerships with both service users and other professionals.
