From the rear cover of this 173 page book: "This book is unique in that it traces the thinking, Christian and secular, that has lain behind society's treatment of the poor throughout the centuries in the Western World, from the Old Testament's concern with justice, to American welfare policies in the 1980's; from the writings of the early church Fathers to contemporary articles in professional journals. It is designed to help students acquire a conceptual background for practice with the disadvantaged, together with a sense of the history, not only of the social work profession but of human compassion as a whole. It has been tested with undergraduate and state-supported colleges and universities."

Encounters With Children: Stories That Help Us Understand and Help Them

Giving and Taking Help is a book which examines what is involved in the helping process in social work - giving and taking help. It shows how all good helping is characterized by three fundamental dimension - reality (what we're up against), empathy (an act of the loving imagination), and support (I am here to help you if you want me and can use me). 
Giving and Taking Help draws a strong contrast between helping and controlling. It recognizes the role of choice and responsibility and that helping is not preventing choices or shielding from the consequences of choices.
