The book fully integrates discussion of the latest theoretical and research findings with a strong focus on practice, allowing students continuous opportunity to apply their knowledge to real-life scenarios. Numerous pedagogical aids, an engaging design, a reader-friendly approach, and exciting web resources all combine to assist students in comprehending this complex and varied subject.

Students love Stanhope - comments from actual student reviewers:

"Its readability and layout make it a great book. The pull-outs in the front and the Appendices in the back are great for students who want to have a quick refresher before heading into an exam/test."

"Other things that have caught my eye and were very useful for studying and further research were the "Remember This" page as well as the "Tool Box Evolve" and "Weblinks Evolve" for future reference. I also feel that the book did a great job defining concepts and providing understandable examples, as well as supporting concepts with actual facts and appropriate literature."

"I used the web resources at the end of the chapter to develop some projects within my community practicum and for the grant course project which was very helpful. In addition when studying for the exam I used the multiple choice quiz on Evolve which was very helpful."
