Einführung in die Soziale Arbeit

This introductory book, now in its fourth, extended and updated edition, will answer questions from students in their first semester of social work on the study, identity, profession and discipline of social work in understandable language. Its exercises, selected literature, instructions and index will stimulate the reader to engage in self-study, and its contents were developed with students and have been developed continuously since its first edition. Much of the book’s content, such as the development of an identity core and an overview of epistemology, was specifically developed for this introduction to facilitate access to more complex subject matter. The book can be used as a basis for developing lectures, tutorials and testing.
