The skilled helper
In my second year on my uni social work degree I had a assignment based on Egan. You can not complete this assignment without the use of this book. Egan focus is on communication and the ability to communicate with other on different levels. However this book was also helpful in other assignments as communication is key to what we do in social work. Egan provides clear examples and stages of communication.

Good Read
Interesting and easy to read however the latest version is the 8th edition for 2009.
Covering communication skills, empathy, challenge and the Helping Model in short, quick paragraphs and sections well defined.
A book all new Social Work students should buy to inform and guide you through Egan's systemic approach.

Disappointed
I am disappointed because to date I still have not received the boog I ordered over a month ago and I need it for my course work. A package containing children's books was sent to the address.

I will appreciate it if you can dispatch the book I ordered immediately.

Thank you,
Gloria Atiba-Davies
