Additional features include abundant case examples demonstrating the application of theory to practice and an examination of both qualitative and quantitative research approaches, while also helping students demonstrate social work practice competencies within their capstone projects.

John Poulin, PhD, MSW, is a professor emeritus and adjunct professor at Widener Universitys Center for Social Work Education, where he has taught generalist practice, research, and policy courses for 32 years. As an adjunct professor he is currently teaching the foundation field seminar in Wideners online masters degree program (MSW). He received a bachelors degree from the University of Southern Maine, an MSW from the University of Michigan, and a PhD from the University of Chicagos School of Social Service Administration. The former director of Wideners BSW program, he founded its MSW program and served as the dean and director for 13 years. He also served for 10 years as the executive director of Social Work Consultation Services (SWCS), an innovative community-based field placement agency developed by the school of social work in collaboration with a local community human service organization. SWCS provides a wide range of free social work services to low-income community residents as well as free capacity-building services to underresourced community-based human service organizations, and served as field placement site for hundreds of BSW and MSW students. Dr. Poulin has published numerous journal articles and book chapters and five social work textbooks.
Stephen Kauffman, PhD, is a professor at Widener Universitys Center for Social Work Education, where he has taught community practice, program evaluation, research, and policy since 1991. Since receiving his PhD from Bryn Mawr College and his MSW from Washington University in St. Louis, his research and practice have focused on citizen participation and community and organizational responses to global problems, such as environmental decay, poverty (in all its dimensions), and education. With this focus, major research projects have included program evaluations of U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) violence prevention programs, U.S. Health and Human Services housing programs, Century 21 school performance studies, lead abatement, and teenage pregnancy prevention. The programs (and evaluations) have received funding from the U.S. DOJ, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the state of Pennsylvania, and several private foundations. Most recently, his work has targeted the relationship between universities and their surrounding environments. He has published in Social Work, Journal of Social Work Education, Journal of Community Practice, Journal of Baccalaureate Social Work, and elsewhere.
Travis Sky Ingersoll, PhD, MSW, MED, is an associate professor of social work at West Chester University. He received his PhD in human sexuality and two masters degrees, one in social work and the other in education, at Widener University. Dr. Ingersoll weaves important sexual health information into every class he teaches, from race relations to social policy. His course Sexuality Concepts for Social Workers focuses on training social work students to be competent and comfortable addressing the sexual health concerns of their clients. Outside of his role as a college professor, Dr. Ingersoll has guestlectured and facilitated interactive workshops in person and through distance-learning technologies, domestically and internationally, on a variety of topics. His presentations have educated groups about how to teach sensitive topics, cross-cultural sexuality, sexual health, sexuality throughout the life span, sexually transmitted infections, sexual orientation, intimate relationship violence, medias role in the promotion of sexual violence among men, trans-realities and the gender spectrum, how to utilize the Fear of Intimacy Scale in clinical settings, and to recognize the myriad opportunities for producing sexuality scholarship. Dr. Ingersolls academic publications include the textbook Sexuality Concepts for Social Workers, international studies examining the fear of intimacy, sexual anxiety, gender roles, and implementing clinical interventions to residents of elderly communities.
