They confront common ethical and treatment issues and raise issues regarding practice interventions, programs, policies, and laws. Cases represent open-ended situations, encouraging students to apply knowledge from across the social work curriculum to develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.An instructor's manual with teaching notes is available by emailing: coursematerials@columbiauniversitypress.com.
