Description

Existentialism and Social Work by Neil Thompson provides a clear and well-argued exploration of Sartrean existentialism as a foundation for social work practice. This book introduces key concepts and themes from the philosophy, relating them to social welfare theory and practice. Thompson examines how existentialism can help bridge the gap between theory and practice in social work, evaluating various theoretical perspectives through an existentialist lens. He also explores the practical application of existentialism, drawing up a set of Principles for Practice that aim to present this philosophy as a concrete guide for everyday social work. By combining theoretical analysis with practical guidance, Existentialism and Social Work offers a valuable resource for social workers seeking to deepen their understanding of existentialism and its relevance to their field.
