Also from Nancy Boyd Webb Working with Traumatized Youth in Child Welfare Reviews:
"This book serves as a comprehensive primer of essential social work practice skills and intervention techniques that take into account and ultimately honor the developmental phases and cognitive abilities of children....Webb's book successfully elucidates the profession of social work's reliance on a holistic approach to understanding and treating psychopathology."
"Written by a master clinician and teacher with decades of experience....Sure to remain a centerpiece of any graduate course on practice with children and a tried-and-true companion for clinicians of all levels."
"I strongly recommend this text. The volume offers practitioners and social work educators an invaluable resource of methods and skills for helping children with challenging life conditions and perilous life situations. With the fully updated second edition, readers can be sure they have the latest information on key topics. This is an excellent and much needed contribution to the contemporary practice literature."
"I earned my master's degree in social work, with honors, last May. This text was extremely helpful in my research efforts and my practice with children. Thank you, Nancy Boyd Webb, for your valuable contribution."
