Description
Constructing Clienthood in Social Work and Human Services Interaction explores social work, therapy, and counselling as a series of encounters between clients and professionals. Drawing on various social constructionist perspectives, this book examines the roles, language, and contexts of meetings between social workers and their clients. Through analysis of data from client files, transcribed dialogues, and other sources, the book proposes new insights into what it means to be a client of the human services agency. International contributors offer diverse perspectives on categorization, identity, and reflexive practice, challenging previous notions about clienthood. This volume forms an important contribution to debates on social work and counselling, offering innovative approaches to theory and research as well as implications for practice. It is a useful resource for social workers, counsellors, policy makers, academics, researchers, students, and trainers in the field.
