*PRE-ORDER, APPROX 4-6 BUSINESS DAYS* Law for Social Workers 5th Edition by Rachel Birnhaum 9780779873159 [ZZ]

Paperback, Thomson Reuters

This is a complete guide to the workings of the Canadian legal system as it relates to the practice of social work. The book uses the family life cycle as an organizing principle that connects legal procedures to the life of the family as it moves through marriage, parenthood, normal events, and specific crises along the continuum from birth to old age. This is the fifth edition of the work. The book has been fully updated and revised to include the latest leading case law and legislation in the area, including a new chapter on “Family Law and Child and Spousal Support”, which includes a new discussion on the 2008 Federal Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines.
