Responsibilisation at the Margins of Welfare Services (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Juhila, Kirsi; Hall, Christopher; Raitakari, Suvi

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The impetus for this book is the shift in welfare policy in Western Europe from state to individual and community responsibilities. The book examines the ways in which policies associated with advanced liberalism and New Public Management can be seen as influencing professional practices to promote personalisation, participation, empowerment, recovery and resilience. In examining the concept of 'responsibilisation' from the point of view of both the 'responsibilised client and welfare worker', the book breaks from traditional literature to show how responsibilities are negotiated during multi-professional care planning meetings, home visits, staff meetings, focus groups and interviews.
