Books by Brian Sheldon

This book offers a bio-psycho-social approach to evidence-based practice in health and social care. The book presents current evidence on the influence of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors on behaviour, a survey of developmental factors from childhood to old age, and implications for practice at each stage.

Where did professional social work originate from? How effective are social work interpretations in the lives of vulnerable people? This book provides a discussion of social work practice and its evidence-base. It strikes a balance between the need for social workers to understand the social, economic, psychological and interpersonal factors.
