Reviews

" To help readers acquire the foundations of assessment, this fourth edition of Jordan and Franklin's text is organized into four parts and ten well organized chapters. Both of these accomplished authors...possess years of practical experience and expertise in clinical assessment and intervention. They conceptualize clinical assessment as both an art and a science, and a lovely aspect across all four editions of this book is that the content equally covers and
appreciates the beauty of both quantitative and qualitative methods in social work practice. " -- Lisa E. Cox, The New Social Worker
