"A sorely needed textbook about social work practice in health care settings for the 1980s and 1990s. It is written by practitioners for practitioners as well as social work students. A must for any social work instructor teaching in the health care field or any hospital social work environment."
Michael J. MacLean, Executive Director, CASSW, Ottawa, ON
"Keeping up with the changing demands for service in health care is a pressing issue for everyone. Consequently, I think Social Work Practice in Health Care Settings will be a critical text in preparing social work students in hospitals in the 1999s and beyond."
Ruth Koch Schulte, Director, Allied Health Services, Sick Children’s Hospital, Toronto, ON
