Description
This reader brings together significant ideas that have shaped social work practice over the last fifty years. It presents foundational extracts alongside commentaries to help readers understand their context and relationships.
The book reflects the changing world of social work, with new material on decolonisation, inter-disciplinarity, co-production, and identity. An accessible introduction sets the scene for three main sections, each featuring key texts from diverse perspectives: psychological, sociological, philosophical, educational, and political.
Required reading for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, as well as professionals undertaking post-qualifying training, this book provides an easy entry point into foundational social work texts. It will be a valuable resource for students and practitioners alike.
