From Simon & Schuster, Confidentiality in Social Work is Suanna J. Wilson's exploration of the issues and principles of social work. As described by Social Thought, Confidentiality in Social Work "clearly demonstrates that all of us—practitioners, supervisors, administrators, researchers, and academicians—have neglected the issue of confidentiality, and that we must now take prompt, careful action."
