First published in 1989, The Haunt of Misery offers social workers
and students critical essays for critical times. Faced with
unreflective wealth creation and the fragmentation of the
counterculture, social work is perceived as failing to meet the
needs of the client. Many social workers are left feeling angry,
stranded and confused. Written by academics and professionals, the
essays range over social work and unemployment, the crisis of AIDS
and HIV infection, drug use, client collectives, the elderly, the
ethnic minorities, professionalism, and self-management. The
authors offer constructive criticism of existing social work
practice and suggest radical and exciting issues for the profession
in the 1990s and beyond.
