Recenzii
This
updated
edition
builds
on
the
first
edition
and
retains
its
benefits:
the
distinctive
existential
perspective
on
diversity
and
on
helping
diverse
groups,
the
use
of
actual
case
material
to
illustrate
the
existential
challenges
and
curative
factors,
and
the
message
that
the
authors
are
passionately
and
intelligently
committed
to
helping
social
workers
better
serve
vulnerable
and
oppressed
groups."
