First published in 1997, this volume presents a critical analysis
of how social work is formulated in everyday practice. Christopher
Hall sets the task of exploring how social workers make their work
visible and justifiable through their talk and writing. The
analysis examines conversations and documents in which social
workers describe and justify their work in research interviews,
reports and case notes. Social workers construct convincing
occupational stories to convince judges, supervisors and other
critical readers and listeners. Drawing on narrative analysis, Hall
explores how such language practices create characters, plots and
address audiences. At the time of publication the use of reflexive
writing was seen as controversial; however, this study was a
forerunner to what has become a flourishing scholarship in
narrative and reflexivity in social work writing and practice.
