Defining Social Work for the 21st Century characterizes social work in a contemporary and broad fashion; A Differential Model of Advocacy in Social Work Practice examines the pivotal role of advocacy in the definition; and, Integrating Social Work Methods is a prescriptive outline of a social worker's role.
