Farmer’s book can be easily read in one sitting. The first chapter provides a tour of the brain, and subsequent chapters are enriched with case vignettes that make clear connections across social work practice and neuroscience findings. Two primary themes are highlighted in Farmer’s book
Over the past 30 years, findings in the neurosciences have grown exponentially and have provided a profound understanding of the link between behavior and biology. Although the Social Work community has long taken pride in using a bio-psycho-social-spiritual (BPSS) framework in conceptualization and intervention, the biological aspect of this BPSS framework has been sorely missing. Neuroscience and Social Work Practice provides the critical missing link. Introducing the latest neuroscience research, it gives practitioners essential data―in an easily accessible form―with which to take on the challenges of increasingly complex human problems and diagnoses.
