Description
The Compleat Social Worker by David Howe explores the complex debates within the social work profession. It examines the tensions between scientific thought and human relationships, as well as the nature versus nurture debate, to create a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be a good social worker. This book celebrates the rich heritage of scientific thought in social work while acknowledging the importance of values and emotions in practice. By examining these ideas and their discussions, Howe aims to promote lively interest and debate among those who wish to explore and understand the role of the social worker. For anyone interested in the subject, The Compleat Social Worker offers a thought-provoking analysis that will prompt reflection on what it means to be a well-rounded social worker.
