This is a good textbook, and I′m tempted to suggest it as optional reading. I have temporarily decided to adopt "Human Service Organizations" by Kettner (Allyn and Bacon)--though I am eagerly awaiting Sage′s upcoming edition from Brody--to be published in February." -- Dr Benjamin Lough * drupal *
Simple to use and very user friendly. Provided specific tools for students to use in their work. -- Dr Patricia Desrosiers * drupal *
Duplicated material in another, more comprehensive book.

Information was great though! -- Mr Ryan Bobst * drupal *
university chose alternative book -- Ms Sharon Goldberg * drupal *
Too specific to administrative supervision. i need a broader text, so I am going to review Social Work Supervision which is also a Sage publication. I may consider using this as a supplemental text. -- Professor Tracy Walker * drupal *
