Good books for an aspiring social worker

On my way to the bookstore now, when I get there I expect a list of good books for an aspiring social worker in the mental health or substance abuse fields. Thanks so much!

Well thanks for the help guys! Lol jk

My favorite social worker book is Carly’s Voice by Arthur Flieschman and Carly Flieschman. But that’s about autism specifically.

After I read these three broad books I’ll go more in depth and maybe read something like that. Because I know nothing about autism really. The more you know! Can come in handy thanks

Assistive technology is my area of interest, and that book is all about nonverbal communication.

A good book for people is a work on human sexuality. If you’re interested, I can snap some pics of mine and point you to some good stuff. Sexuality is widely misunderstood and widely repressed.

The third one is about aggressive and murderous thinking, which is often fueled by sexual motives like securing a mate or getting rid of competitors. It’s a comprehensive literature of the big picture of human sexuality. I missed the timing of a human sexuality class in undergrad so I asked a shrink to refer me to books, he told me these.

Something on PTSD in younger population because there is so many kids who escaped the war zones now.
