Direct Practice in Social Work by Scott W. Boyle, Grafton H. Hull My instructor selected this textbook for our Direct Practice Social Work class. Throughout this class I found this textbook easy to read because the authors did not try to cram "everything but the kitchen sink" in the chapters yet this textbook was comprehensive about the subject matter. Some chapters had practical applications or exercises to reinforce the subject matter. The index was inclusive for quick reference and the layout were easy on the eyes. This textbook is a "keeper" which I'll refer to in the future.
