Review

"This is a very well-timed book that explores a number of pertinent examples of strengths-based approaches in social work practice, and will be an excellent resource for social work academics and students, and newly qualified and experienced social workers." Lee Sobo-Allen, Leeds Beckett University"Offering welcome relief to the often-negative characterisations of people in social welfare systems, this book provides accessible ways to guard against judgemental, disempowering interactions and nurture relational, energising connections."
