Sexuality and Social Work - Bywater and Jones
A very well written book, with good clear, concise information. I enjoyed reading this book. The chapters and excercises within, were easy to understand and follow. However, some areas of the book lacked further elaboration, which was a pity. The book allow's the student room for further argument and leaves the reader ready to use the information from further argument, to support and underpin their own arguments, values and beliefs around sexuality within social work. I would strongly recommend this book to fellow students. Mags, 3rd year S/work student.
