<p>Integrating theory and research through comparative analysis, the author offers a work that helps readers think through the most promising views of personality. Through Maddi's comparative analytic approach, research becomes theory-relevant and theory becomes empirically sound. In the process, the whole person emerges clearly. This edition permits consideration of each theory all in one place. Maddi has simplified the style and vocabulary to make the information clearer and more direct.</p>

This book integrates new and emerging aspects of sociological theory into a detailed treatment of theories and theorists, providing students with a framework for organizing the many types of sociological theory. In this edition, it is particularly concerned with outlining the changes that have taken place within sociological theory since the first edition of this book was published in the late 1960s. The book is split into seven sections that identify the paradigms of sociological theory:  functionalism, evolutionary, conflict, exchange, interactions, structural, and critical. The text offers an in-depth analysis of each theory, and it reflects their emerging, maturing, and continuing traditions. In addition, the book covers the work of key modern figures in each of the paradigms, as well as their founders.

Compton and Galaway's highly respected SOCIAL WORK PROCESSES has long set the standard for social work practice texts. Continuing its strong emphasis upon process and collaborative partnerships between social workers and clients, the text incorporates systems and ecological perspectives, advocacy, case management, and group and community work. The book's conceptual framework supports, encourages, and organizes skill development and skill teaching in a diversity of settings and client populations. Dr. Barry R. Cournoyer updates this comprehensive Seventh Edition by including extensive use of Web-based resources and evidence-based exercises within its process -oriented perspective.
