Produktbeschreibung

This book outlines the development of social work with children and families over the last 40 years, drawing on the author's unique practice experience and his extensive writings. It charts the highs and lows of social work, the latter including the dominance of managerialism which emphasises speedy completion of bureaucracy so as to ration resources and assess/manage risk. This book is essential reading for everyone interested in social work including academics, students, practitioners and managers both in the UK and overseas.
