Presented in the first person from the perspective of a social worker, each case study begins with the service user's story, followed by the application of relevant theory.

Where appropriate, the emotional impact of the work is emphasized, and strategies for managing it are discussed.
In summary, this book offers a unique approach by starting with the human story and then considering which theory applies. It demonstrates thinking in action through concise examples of real-time challenges and the effective strategies employed to address them.
