Critical Social Work with Children and Families: Theory, Context and Practice
Autor Steve Rogowskien Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mar 2013
This book traces the changing fortunes of radical and critical social work, examining the theory, context, and application of such approaches. Advancing the notion that critical practices are both necessary and possible in the neoliberal world—despite the challenges critical practices face—it explores new approaches to family and child services, arguing for emancipatory practices that are geared toward meeting immediate needs while still offering a vision of a more just and equal future society. Including case studies, key point summaries, and suggestions for further reading, this is a thorough new resource for students and teachers.

Recenzii
“Provides a much needed contribution to social work knowledge.”
“Rogowski. . . has come up trumps with this latest work which focuses on children and family work in the UK . . . the book is a useful compliment to the contemporary UK radical literature in its attempt to bridge the divide between the academic standpoint of those works and the actualities of practice.”
“Rogowski writes with characteristic commitment, clarity and vision. Here we have sharp analysis along with an invaluable guide to practice consistent with the emancipatory principles of modern radical social work.”
