WHEN YOU START LOOKING FOR SOCIAL WORK LITERATURE AUTHORED BY PAKISTANI WRITERS, YOU FIND A VERY SHORT LIST THAT EVEN DOESN’T REACH THE DOUBLE FIGURE. WHEN IT COMES TO WRITINGS FOR STUDENTS, THE LOCAL LITERATURE IS EVEN MORE SCARCE. IN THIS CONTEXT, HAVING A GLOSSARY OF SOCIAL WORK TERMS AND WHAT THEY MEAN IN PAKISTANI CONTEXT IS HIGHLY WELCOMING GESTURE. THE TASK WAS TAKEN UP BY SYED MANSOOR ALI SHAH, A VERY LEARNED SOCIAL WORK ACADEMICIAN FROM ISLAMIA UNIVERSITY OF BAHAWALPUR. MR. SHAH HAS CONSIS- TENTLY SHOWN HIS CONCERN AND COMMITMENT FOR SOCIAL WORK LITERATURE DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS. HE ALSO PUBLISHES SHORT VIDEO LECTURES FOR SOCIAL WORK STUDENTS ON YOUTUBE. HIS VIDEO LECTURES HAVE BEEN HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER IN PAKISTAN NOT ONLY BY STUDENTS BUT PRACTITIONERS AS WELL. THE CURRENT GLOSSARY IS A HIGHLY NEEDED AND WELCOMING ADDITION TO THE ALREADY SCARCE SOCIAL WORK LITERATURE IN PAKISTAN.

SOCIAL WORK GLOSSARY IS WONDERFUL ADDITION IN PAKISTANI SOCIAL WORK. I HAVE GONE THROUGH THE BOOK FROM COVER TO COVER AND FOUND IT INCREDIBLE SOURCE OF LEARNING AND REFRESHING SOCIAL WORK CONCEPTS. I HOPE PEN OF SYED MANSOOR ALI SHAH WILL KEEP WRITING AND SERVING SOCIAL WORK PROFES SION IN PAKISTAN
