Understanding Generalist Practice br /br /The book is in perfect condition, brand new. However, I did not get the book from the buyer. I am not sure if the sent it or not, but I never received it. I had to call Amazon, who gave me the option of a refund or them sending me a book. They sent the book and I got it in great timing, within a week.

Exhaustive detail May 19, 2001
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

This book is certainly very complete and authoritative; but it goes into such extreme detail that it is tedious to read. My classmates and I soon fell behind in our reading assignments because the chapters seem to go on forever and the organization of the chapters is not very clear. It tends to seem like pages and pages of similar details. The book could be greatly improved by highlighting important concepts and definitions, a more visually identifiable hierarchy of sub-headings, and concise chapter summaries. The diagrams that explain the generalist intervention model, however, are excellent, and I still have them in my mind's eye for reference, even after finishing the course.

I am a fourth year social work student at Ryerson Polytechnic Universtity. I just finished a 22 page essay, and used the generalist intervention model as the theoretical framework. Highly recommend!
