Field Instruction is a student-friendly guide for those beginning their first social work field experience.

This text/workbook addresses the most common questions, concerns, and problems students encounter in their field practicums and provides them with essential information for completing the field experience successfully. It is structured so that "early" questions about preparing for the first interview are presented ahead of more complicated issues such as resolving ethical dilemmas. However, the convenient table of  Instructors have a choice of exercises that they can choose from and tailor to students’ specific learning needs.  In addition, new end of chapter exercises have been added in the 5/e.  These exercises are designed to promote involvement with the content of the text and to develop critical thinking and self-reflection.
