Francis J Turner taught full time at Ottawa, Wilfrid Laurier, Memorial, Laurentian, and York Universities, as well as practicing social work in the fields of child welfare, family counselling, and mental health, and publishing a range of written and edited texts.

``The idea of compiling an encyclopedia of social work in Canada
was ambitious, and the editor, Frank Turner (professor emeritus,
Wilfrid Laurier University), is likely one of the few social work
academics in Canada who could have successfully brough this project
to fruition. His goal was to produce an `accessible resource that
surveys the total spectrum of the field [of Canadian social
welfare].' With more than 440 entries written by academics and
practitioners from across the country, Encyclopeida of Canadian
Social Work achieves that goal.'' -- Diana Coholic -- Canadian Book
Review Annual, 2006, 200703
``Over 200 social work professionals and scholars from all over
Canada contributed to the more than 500 signed entries...An
indispensable book for social work practitioners and scholars in
Canada; it will be useful for their colleagues throughout the
English-speaking world....Highly recommended.' -- J.E. Sheets,
CHOICE -- 200603
