Beschreibung
Recent years have witnessed increased international interest in the relevance of social theories associated with postmodernism, social constructionism and narrative approaches for social work. The central aim of this unique book is to demonstrate how such ideas can make a direct and positive contribution to social work practice. The innovative approach is affirmative and reflexive and emphasis is given to dialogue, process and plurality of knowledge and voice. Richly illustrated by case examples, the book is an ideal introduction to a crucially important new area of social work theory.
This is the first book to explicitly outline how social constructionist and narrative approaches can be used in social work practice
Case examples are included to illustrate how the approach under discussion in the book can be applied in real-life situations
This book challenges contemporary assumptions about social work at a time of uncertainty and offers new possibilities for change
