BECOMING A SOCIAL WORKER: REFLECTIONS ON A CLINICIAN'S TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY, by Manfred J. Melcher, will soon be available. This book follows Manfred through his graduate school experience at Smith College School for Social Work. First it was a series of articles for THE NEW SOCIAL WORKER; now it's been expanded into a book. Manfred focuses on the idea that "becoming" a social worker is an ongoing process, and that it transforms one not only into a new social worker, but into a new person, as well. The book includes "Reflections" pages for readers to record their own journeys. Watch our Web site (http://www.socialworker.com) for further details, or contact me (

SITES WE'VE SEEN
