Baraschi 0 out of 1 found this review helpful This book gives real life examples for those who are entering the social work field. It gives a more real understanding to what goes on in a day of an individual who is already a social worker. Also it is helpful for those who are looking to become social workers or even for those that already are social workers and are looking for a source of an experience other than their own. Very Inspiring and Insightful! April 9, 2008 M. Stanley (Los Angeles, CA United States) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful When I decided to buy this book it was becaus I was already thinking of a career in social work. And, I must say that the book is very inspiring and insightful. The stories come from different types of social workers, in different fields, under different circumstances, and really gives the reader a sense of what each worker goes through on a typical day. It's also very true to the field. Since buying the book I have had the opportunity to work in social service, and the day-to0day events adn issues the workers deal with in the book are very realistic and honest. It's definately a must-read for anyone thinking about the social work field, no matter what service or population you are thinking about working with. not bad at all September 24, 2007 Irina Baltatescu (Seattle, WA USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I thought it was filled with useful information, considering the different fields described in each chapter. PERSONALLY, I would have liked to see even more examples, but if you're leaning towards the medical field in social work, I think this is a great way to get an idea as to what you will be dealing with. I would recommend the book to anyone since it's always good to understand how varied the field of social work can be. Absolute must read. September 11, 2007 Carmen H. Rodriguez (USA) 3 out of 3 found this review helpful Days in the Lives of Social Workers: 54 Professionals Tell"Real-life" Stories From Social Work Practice is an absolutely must read for unexperienced social workers as for experienced social workers. This book provides the unexperienced social worker with the duties and responsibilities that are expected of you in your chosen field of practice,as well as in other areas. It also provides the opportunity for you to judge for yourself whether you are performing duties that are expected of you in your specific practice, and allows you to compare what you are being asked to do, with what others are doing in the same practice area . Moreover, you will feel motivated to join with other associations, and to volunteer your services as a means for professional growth as you read how other social workers manage to include these activities in their days. For the experienced social worker that might be considering changing from one specialty practice to another, this book will provide a feel for what you may encounter in your new social work job. Insightful August 8, 2007 D. Robinson 3 out of 3 found this review helpful If you are looking for a book that gives you information about the various specialties in the social work profession, then this is a very good start. I was looking for that and now I have a much clearer view of what areas I may want to study and eventually work. Showing reviews 1-5 of 13 1 2 3 Next »
