Description:

This very practical text provides a nuts-and-bolts introduction to case management. The text was initially written by the author as a manual for beginning case managers, and it is still focused on how to actually track and manage a case load. The text is geared toward students or entry-level professionals, and provides plenty of actual case examples to illustrate the pitfalls and high points of case management.
