Produktbeschreibung

The result of collaboration between authors from Canada, Britain and Australia, Social Work in a Corporate Era provides a re-evaluation of the assumptions and practices of the critical social work tradition and explores the possibility of rebuilding an 'emancipatory' social work. Calling for the development of a new politics of social work practice, this book addresses many of the urgent issues facing welfare state practitioners in health and social services today.
