A special historical section represents a chronology of the significant developments in the United States and the world toward social welfare policies, practices, and the betterment of humanity. Used extensively in schools of social work, social service agency libraries, and in social work offices worldwide, The Social Work Dictionary, 5th Edition is a staple in professional libraries. It is unequaled as a study tool for preparing for licensing and certification exams.

Everything you need to know is at your fingertips. Those terms or words that you don't know and should know are all in this dictionary. A plus to your learning experience Simple Almost Unnecessary October 1, 2009 Ane (B'KLYN) Purchased this dictionary with anticipation that it would provide more terminology from the social work field, it falls short in providing that aspect. Overall still beneficial. Get This Book August 28, 2009 A. Carter (Washington, DC) It has EVERYTHING you need to know to study for the LGSW (Licensed Graduate Social Worker). You will need more that this book if you plan on studying for the LICSW or LCSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker or Licensed Clinical Social Worker). With that being said, I credit this book for my LGSW! Also, you can use this book for ALL your social work classes! Its awesome!
