Private Troubles or Public Issues? (eBook, PDF)

Challenges for Social Work Research

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The contributions to this book bear testimony to the value of a progressive form of academisation and the existence of discipline-specific research methods of social work education across Europe. It exemplifies the conceptualisation of different and interacting dimensions of diversity, and the defence of professionalism and discretion against encroachment by neo-liberal ideologies and cost-cutting regulations. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of Social Work.
