Negative Positive
Title: Horrible!
Review: In my opinion, this poorly edited textbook was extremely unreadable owing to numerous grammatical and spelling errors that distracted me from learning about the concept of family social work, which is different from family therapy (one of the few things I learned from this text). The subject index is not comprehensive or cross-referenced with other subjects - it has spelling errors, too. Other than some useful tools a social worker could use in family social work detailed in some sections of the quantitative and qualitative chapters measurement chapters, I found this book to be a reformulation of ideas co-opted from better-written family therapy texts. The only reason why I will keep this book is to recover the price I paid for it - $90 - and as a SECONDARY reference, if I refer to it at all.
Is the review positive or negative?
