This book is an invaluable resource tool for Korean American social work practitioners and students, given its evidence-based practice approach to service design and delivery. Chapter authors truly impart their practice and research wisdom by integrating their extensive years of social work practice with their academic training, while inculcating their own Korean heritage to produce a most useful and informative book. * Phyllis Solomon, University of Pennsylvania *
