Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
An extensive review of one of the most admired books on social work theory, Malcolm Payne has substantially reworked the content as well as the organization of this important theory book in response to the suggestions of academics and practitioners, while retaining the clarity and critical analysis of the previous edition. Used in practice and human behavior courses around the world, this valuable text is still the only one of its kind.

A better book? February 19, 2002
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

Currently using this book in a theory class. There must be a better theory book out there. Bounces form one theory to another while covering a specific theory in a chapter. It is hard for a person unfamiliar with theories to understand what is relevant to the theory named in that chapter heading.

A Very Good Mid-Range Cost Text-Book January 27, 2001
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Malcolm Payne's book is widely used as a text book in social work theory courses in Aotearoa New Zealand. Its strength is its breadth and concise coverage of major theory's from a social constructionist perspective. The text's use of language can at times make it difficult to follow in places despite this it has been my experience that most social work students I have taught find it a valuable book to have invested in.

This book is extremly dry. My graduate school professer HATED it, as did the rest of my class. Do not reccomend for a Human Behavior/Social Environment class!

This book gives you a true and infomative insight into the running of society's helping organisations. I highly recommend it for volunteers, social work or welfare students/workers.
