Ogden W. Rodgers, (2013). Beginnings, Middles, & Ends, Sideways Stories on the Art and Soul of Social Work. Harrisburg, PA: White Hat Communications

摘要

For many readers familiar with Ogden Rodgers' contributions to the literature devoted to reflections on social work practice, his skillful writing in this wonderful collection of vignettes, parables, and metaphorical tales will come as no surprise. Rodgers' stories are drawn from his long career in the acute care settings of hospitals and a variety of mental health services and social work education. But these stories go beyond his formal career, and insights are drawn from his childhood memories, his adolescent and young-adult relationships, his family, and friends. These tales are sad, humorous, heartfelt and poignant and almost always instructive.
