Including current evaluation research from the United States, Canada, and around the globe, the text serves as a helpful resource to undergraduate and graduate social work students and practitioners.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br>Mary Patricia Van Hook, PhD, MSW, is Professor Emerita of Social Work at the University of Central Florida.
