Barbara Thomlison, PhD, , is Professor of Social Work and Director of the Institute for Families and Children at Risk at Florida International University.Kevin Corcoran, PhD, JD, Professor of Social Work at Portland State University.

"Thomlison and Corcoran have crafted an in-depth and substantive manual for student internships. The manual builds on the best research evidence and applies that evidence in a way that makes situations in the field come alive for students. The book is conceptual and applied, combining the best of both approaches. I highly recommend it."-Scott Decker, Curator's Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Missouri - St. Louis
