'Another important contribution to the growing literature on
critical social work. It is on the cutting edge of thinking about
social work and its goal of social change.' - Kate van Heugten,
Social Work Review Critical Social Work starts from the premise
that a central goal of social work practice is social change to
redress social inequality. Taking a critical theoretical approach,
the authors explore the links between personal and social change.
They confront the challenges for critical social work in the
context of pressures to separate the personal from the political
and in responding to the impact of changes in the socio-political,
statutory and global contexts of practice. Critical Social Work has
been thoroughly revised to take into account recent social,
economic and political developments. Coverage of theoretical
frameworks has been substantially expanded and reflects current
concerns such as evidence based practice and human rights. The
causes of people's marginalisation and oppression are examined in
relation to class, race, ethnicity, gender and other forms of
social inequality.Case study chapters in the earlier edition on
working with immigrants, Indigenous people, women, men, families,
people with psychiatric disabilities and those experiencing loss
and grief have been updated and revised. The second edition
includes new case study chapters on disability, older people,
children, rurality, and violence and abuse. Critical Social Work is
an essential resource to inform progressive social work practice.
