Social Work: Building an Innovative Economy de Mark Doel

Social Work: Building an Innovative Economy

Autor Mark Doel
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iun 2011
Social Work: The Basics is an insightful introduction to the often misrepresented world of social work. This accessible book presents a broad view of contemporary social work, exploring its roots and its possible future. It dispels myths surrounding social work, addresses media debates, and offers a balanced account of what social workers do. The book argues for a social work that is partisan in support of social justice. Questions covered include:
  • How did social work arise?
  • How and why do people come into contact with social workers?
  • What are the true aims of social work - to help or to control?
  • What is the relationship between social work and social policy?
  • How and why do people become social workers?
  • What’s it like to be a social worker?
  • Can social work cross borders?
Drawing examples from the full range of social work practice, this book is valuable reading for all individuals interested in the field of social work. It will provide a helpful introduction for students considering a career in social work, those beginning social work courses, and other professionals whose work brings them into contact with social workers and who want to find out more about what social work is.

Mark Doel is recognised as a key figure in social work education with his ability to blend theory and practice so effectively. This important text illustrates nicely how well deserved that reputation is. Social work is a highly demanding but rewarding profession. This book serves an important purpose in making sure that newcomers to the profession get off to a good start in terms of rising to the challenges and appreciating the rewards.
