Review

"It is exciting to see what David Howe has been up to! Written by a highly regarded `thinker' and writer within the social work field, this book is well structured and comprehensive in its coverage. Readers will get something from the book which will help not only their professional, but also their personal lives."

From the Back Cover

Emotions are at the core of health and social care work but what are they? Why do we have them? How do they affect our judgement, behaviour and actions? In this compelling and important book, leading author David Howe introduces readers to emotions and the fundamental part they play in effective and responsive professional practice.

Emotionally intelligent practitioners are not only likely to be more sensitive; they are also likely to be more resilient. This text begins by considering the origins of our emotions, how they develop across the lifespan, and how they affect us personally and interpersonally. It goes on to discuss the emotional wellbeing of both workers and their clients and examines how this can affect mental and physical health. Drawing on practice issues throughout, including emotional disorders and behavioural difficulties in both children and adults, Howe clearly demonstrates the deep links between emotional intelligence, the professional relationship and skilled practice.

Relevant to all areas of social work, this ground-breaking text is an essential read for all those who value the use of emotions in their own practice. Students taking modules in human growth and development, fitness for practice and professional development will find it indispensable.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book

D.D. · 3 March 2012

This book was on my reading list for my social work degree module. When I started reading it I loved it immediately. Very clear and has really made me think about my own reactions, emotions and responses to situations. It is easy to read and retain the information. I can't say a bad thing about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read with some thought provoking material

This book has been brilliant for my studies. I would have honestly walked away from being a student before reading this book. I have learnt so much on a professional and personal level

R.E. · 22 August 2013

This is a brilliantly written book perfect for the modern SW. It arrived promptly and with no problems. Price was a bit steep (therefore not 5 stars), but that's what you pay for quality.

I think David Howe is one of my favourite writers. I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in how people communicate and what lies beneath. It explores more deeply the aspects that contribute to good communication and also helps you to understand yourself as a practitioner.

I recommended this book to all Social Workers. I bought it at the beginning of my career in the UK and is definitely a great help.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must buy for placement

e. · 5 February 2013

This book is easy to read and understand. It helps to guide students on their first placements to understand and use their emotions appropriately with regards to service users.

L.S. · 3 October 2015

This book echoed my own thoughts but in the current climate in social work with its lack of reflective practice and an holistic approach to the child, how can the NQSW incorporate this into their service?Finance drives intervention, its not the fault of their initial training or self learning.
