By presenting the core processes and skills in the chapters on work with individuals, Shulman shows how common elements exist across stages of helping and across different populations. These processes and skills reappear in the discussions of group, family, and community work."--Publisher description UR - http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1303/2011923503-b.html ER -
