A classic text in social work education, Case Critical opens the door on Canada`s social services from the perspective of social workers themselves, and service users or "cases", people whose voices we rarely hear.
This completely revised and updated fifth edition includes new interviews and topics of discussion to reinforce Carniol`s passionate case for social work as "liberation practice."
