Positive Social Work

The book is brilliant. I love the way it talks to you, I felt I could imagine if I was setting out it would be a fantastic guide. It makes me feel like filling in the exercises and making a port folio of my own journey. Wow well done its genius. Its not the kind of book you would want to lend out you would want to keep it to hand so everyone needs to buy their own copy. Genius -- Jayne Lewis, University of Gloucestershire
