Recenzii

“The book is very ambitious and impressive, covering a lot of ground in a very condensed way. … Each chapter has its own abstract, keywords and list of references, making it easy to use as a springboard for further exploration. … a very gripping and dense text, written with feeling and commitment and a great deal of erudition and experience.” (Bronwen Williams, Journal of Social Work Practice, November 30, 2022)
