The Poetry of Social Work Shelley A. Wyckoff

Shelley Rice Wyckoff has synthesized a splendid collection of diverse poems that reflect social issues and challenges encountered during life's journey. These poems are useful as a teaching tool, preparing students with knowledge about the biopsychosocial impact of these issues on individuals, families, groups, and communities. These poems reflect real and current issues and tug at the deep emotions of the heart. Knowledge and sensitivity to these problems serve as motivators for students to become ethical and competent professional social workers who are committed to the purpose of our noble profession.
