      abstract = {"Designed for MSW-level social work students, this  collection of cases encourages readers to think like  practicing professionals. The cases depict actual  situations across a variety of practice  settings--individuals, families, groups, organizations, and  communities. Sure to stimulate in-depth class discussions,  these detailed, open-ended cases urge students to decide on  the central problem and recommend a course of action. The  resulting case analyses and class discussions help students  develop important problem-solving and critical-thinking  skills, internalize social work values and ethics, and  apply theory to practice. Through the "decision case"  approach, students adopt attitudes and skills that are  considered essential for effective social work practice,  yet difficult to teach in the traditional curriculum. As  they discuss their perspectives on these cases, students  learn to articulate and defend their positions, to listen  more effectively, and to develop skills in, and  appreciation for, collaborative  problem-solving."--Publisher's website.},
