A Critique

Produktbeschreibung

'Empowerment' is a term in widespread use today and one that is often considered to be a self-evident good. Here, McLaughlin explores its rise from the 1990s to the present day and interrogates its uncontroversial status, paying particular attention to social policy, social work and health and social care discourse.
