Reviews

This fifth edition updates content, examples, and supporting research for well-developed principles. Practical dialogues representing a range of social work practice are a particular strength. The book also emphasizes culturally competent practice and guides social workers in difficult situations such as sharing bad news. -- Ronald Rooney, University of Minnesota This book is timeless! The authors have updated and enriched their newest edition and have added perceptive insights on crosscultural interviewing and new problem-solving interventions. They provide a dynamic examination of the helping process and present ideas and illustrations with eloquence and clarity. This seminal book is a gift to the profession. -- Alex Gitterman, University of Connecticut School of Social Work This book is a comprehensive guide to the discrete elements of interviews and the strategies for combining them for effective social work practice. Too often students underestimate the complexity of interviewing, having seen televised talk show interviews or having engaged in problem-solving with friends. This book explicitly describes the skills and knowledge social workers must use in their professional roles. -- Kim Strom-Gottfried, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill School of Social Work The Kadushins have managed to convey both the science and art of interviewing without diminishing either aspect. Their book is a timeless reference for anyone in the helping professions and could be a very practical tool for social workers or any human service worker. -- Julie Hughens, Mary Baldwin College
