This is a required text for one of my BSW classes and I wish I hadn't wasted my money purchasing it. The book is not constructed in a clear way, topics run together with no clear transitions, and is poorly written. The author will introduce a theory or define a term by quoting other authors' definitions. Not just one per term, but many for each new term explained. By the time you finish reading that paragraph you have multiple views on a definition, and none of them are clear. I have read over 40 college textbooks and this is by far the worst I have ever had the misfortune to read. The writing style of the author is so atrocious it appears to be a research paper gathered by a fifth-grader!

This book is as clear as mud. I read this book to better understand alternative paradigms that are all too often missing from others on this subject. Unfortunately, the author focused more on including everyone's perspective than making any idea clear.
