Books by Lester Parrott

This book uses key sociological concepts and theories to help student social workers better understand the nature of their work and the context within which they will be working.

This timely and clear introduction to values and ethics in social work practice places an emphasis on advocacy and empowerment, and how the beginning social worker can start to apply these concepts. This will, in turn, help social work students develop their understanding by showing them how ethics can have positive impacts on the lives of vulnerable people.

Social Work and Social Care uses social policy analysis to investigate the current policy conflicts and dilemmas for social work students and professionals.
