With a new chapter on social media, new worked examples and better addressing the needs of the newcomer (whilst still remaining authoritative), this fourth edition continues to be an invaluable resource in introducing readers to the theories and techniques of social network analysis.

This book introduces policy and shows how it has changed and evolved over time, how it reflects changes in society, and how it is applied to everyday practice.

Structured around the BACP Core Curriculum, this book covers everything from the requirements of the BACP Ethical Framework to broader perspectives on good professional practice.
