Book excerpt: Barker's fifth edition adds more than 1,000 terms and updates some 2,000, now offering 9,000 defined terms, some internationally recognized and some in common if improper use (with explanations why competent professionals consider their use improper).

Barker explains that definitions for every term have been evaluated, edited, and modified by a panel of not less than three experts and two editors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, this dictionary offers a practical aid to students of social work and of social policy in their conversation about social welfare. It explains the meaning or range of meanings of common terms and explains their applications in welfare, legislation, policy and use by welfare practitioners. It helpfully cross-references terms with similar or related terms that might be considered alongside. In addition, most entries are concluded by references which introduce the reader to a more extended treatment of the term or an elaboration of its application in the language of social welfare. Although first published in 1989, this book will be a valuable resource for students of social work, social policy and social welfare.
