Reviews
"This book is a treasure, a valuable and much-needed addition to
the social work literature. Giving priority to the use of self
perspective will clarify the elements of subjectivity brought to a
relationship that encompasses one's personhood, identity, culture,
diversity, and social position of class, status, role, authority,
and power." -- Atalia Mosek, DSW, Senior Lecturer and former
Director of Social Work program, Tel Hai Academic College, Israel.
