Summary "Psychology provides an essential backdrop to social work practice but there remain few sources that summarise its theories and findings accessibly for social work students and busy professionals. Applied Psychology for Social Workers is designed specifically to fulfil this need."
"Thoroughly revised and updated to take account of the latest research in psychology as well as recent innovation in social work education and practice, the third edition of this text provides an informative yet practical explanation of the intrinsic link between psychology, social work theory and practice. It draws upon research underpinning our understanding of human growth and development, communication, personality, emotions and behaviour to demonstrate how key theories and evidence can be applied to professional practice in a variety of contexts and settings."--Jacket
