Moving from the classroom to the field is often a daunting transition for social work students. In this new edition of their celebrated text, Kelly Ward, Robin Sakina Mama, and Natalie Moore-Bembry address student fears and concerns with a straightforward, adventure-based instruction method. Using interactive exercises to integrate cross-curricula content, Breaking Out of the Box, Fifth Edition, encourages students to gain perspective and insight as they navigate field placement and their growing careers.Previous editions of Breaking Out of the Box have been commended for their direct and honest approach to a wide array of concerns shared by social workers and students. The fifth edition returns to this mission with an increased focus on diversity through rituals and a new chapter on cultural competence, new coverage of AI's impact on writing and a continued emphasis on ethics and human rights.
