Social Work Practice across Disability
by Juliet C. RothmanThis book will help prepare the reader to work across disabilities by providing knowledge and training grounded within the ecological framework in four principal areas.

The book is organized around four units, each of which addresses one of the areas noted. It is not the purpose of this book to enable the reader to gain expertise in any one disabling condition or impairment.
