Social work arose from the necessity of coping with the problems of individuals and of social groups. The field was the basis on which social work developed, and whose needs the profession seeks to fulfill. This book is the result of years of planning and development that began when the author was a social worker and continued when he became a supervisor and a member of academe.

It includes theoretical and practical subjects, with a view to preparing the student for work with individuals and communities with different needs.
