Finally, a comprehensive text that turns students on!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
For years I have been searching for an introductory policy text that will give my BSW students a firm foundation without putting them to sleep. This book's explicit focus on social justice offers a powerful framework for understanding a wide range of issues, while its use of real case studies brings to life the human dimension of social policy. The first chapter of the text is the most difficult for my students, so I allow extra time and use the auxilliary resources on the Thompson website to be sure they master this abstract content.
The best social policy text available today.

Foundations of Social Policy is a rare combination -- intelligent and accessible. My students find it interesting and readable. Each chapter begins with a case study, and includes historical background presented in a way that captures the imagination and emphasizes enduring themes in the development of U.S. social policy. Emerging issues are addressed, as well, and the book contains an insightful discussion of the 9-11 terrorist attacks. An outstanding text or reference work for anyone interested in human services and social justice.
