Doody's Review
"This is a useful instructional guide for students and practitioners who care for vulnerable populations. At the undergraduate and graduate levels, students could use this to address specific vulnerable populations and develop projects within their courses or practice areas. For active practitioners, this book is a useful guide to apply theoretical frameworks, and evidence-based interventions, identify community resources, and advocate for policy for vulnerable populations."
