Recenzii
“Social Workers Affecting Social Policy is original, topical and informative. . . . For anyone wanting a book on social work policy practice in different countries, this will be the one.”
"Gal and Weiss-Gal should be commended for editing the first book of its kind, one that provides social work scholars with a cross-national examination of social work policy practice."
