"We most commend the editors who have achieved a truly comprehensive work; have conceptualized a frame of reference that has implications for all of social work." (Journal of Social Work Education, March 2007)

"The Handbook of Health Social Work is a most valuable resource for social work practitioners... its importance as a readily available reference for students, practitioners and faculties in schools and existing health cares settings is obvious. [The Handbook] is an important and welcome addition to our contemporary social work literature."
—Phyllis Caroff and Helen Rehr (Journal of Social Work Education)
