Re: suggested text books

[rbarth@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Rick Barth)]

If I can be so immodest, try:  Pecora, PJ., Whittaker, JK., Maluccio, A.N., &
Barth, R.P. (2000). The Child Welfare Challenge (2nd Edition) [Aldine DeGruyter of
New York, is the publisher].  The book is very comprehensive (perhaps to the fault
of being overwhelming, in places).  It is available in paperback for $30.95 (it is
597 pages long, so per page it is about one third the cost of your average airport
trade book).  The amazon website is http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0202361
268/ref=ed_oe_p/107-9289135-4375740.  

After too many years of being out of date, the book is now quite current.

Dear List Members:

I am organizing a reading group at my agency.  I would like recommendations 
on recent/comprehensive child welfare text books (ones that describe many of 
the issues facing families and states).  Many of our staff  are not 
university trained.  Books commonly used in schools of social work would 
probably be the most helpful.  Suggestions?

Rick
