The long awaited ode to authentic social work is now available. The ABCs of Authentic Work with Families recognizes that the child welfare system is loaded with excellent workers longing to make a real difference in the lives of children and families. The book is for the worker who knows that far too many children enter the foster care system unnecessarily; the worker who believes in treating families with dignity and respect and the worker who understands that 'TPR' really means Treat People Right! The ABCs of Authentic Work with Families puts into lyrical, inspirational prose what every authentic worker feels about what they do.
