Beskrivning

First published in 1967, Learning Theory and Social Work is the first book to provide an introduction to the fundamental bases of learning theory, and to apply this approach to various topics in the psychology of personality and to social work treatment, here regarded as a learning experience. Recent research suggests that modern learning theory may have important implications for the practice of social work. This book is the first step towards the examination of the extension of learning principles to social work and will be useful for students of social work.

Reviews of the Original Publication: ‘This introduction to learning theory explores its application to social work treatment. Social workers cannot afford to ignore it or fail to find it stimulating’- The Times Literary Supplement‘It is well known that most social workers are trained in the psychodynamic context; few have a thorough grounding in laboratory-based learning theory. Students from Leicester University School of Social Work are among the few, and Mr Jehu, its Director, is one of the even smaller group of professional “scientific” psychologists who have also trained and practiced in social work. His credentials for writing a book of this kind are to all intents and purposes unique, and the result is a primer and source book which admirably meets its objective…”- British Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology
