Bogo has written a second edition to her successful and remarkably insightful book. While there is much new in this second edition, a key feature is the discussion of the notion of holistic competence introduced in the first two chapters that is then linked to the competencies articulated in 2015 EPAS throughout the rest of the book. This state-of-the-art book reflects the synthesis of her many years of practice experience and is informed by extant empirically supported knowledge and its application to social work practice. I strongly recommend this stimulating and well-written book.
