Radical social work is a tradition often identified exclusively
with the movement which developed in the UK in the 1970s, yet as
this much-needed new textbook demonstrates, the relevance of
radical approaches to contemporary social work practice have never
been stronger. Challenges to a neoliberal approach to social work
have been gaining ground academically, and, to a lesser extent, in
practice circles. This book provides a fresh understanding of the
radical tradition and shows how it can be developed in contemporary
social work. Using case studies to illustrate the type of dilemmas
faced by workers in their day-to-day practice, the book sets out
the ways in which a radical social work approach can inform
constructive responses. The book emphasises the need to understand
the diverse lives of service users, encouraging readers to share
experience and knowledge and to discuss past and present events, to
build confidence in tackling injustice at individual and societal
levels. As many social workers are becoming disillusioned and
dissatisfied with the profession, this book promotes a practice
that is rooted in a commitment to positive change and to social
justice that will offer a breath of fresh air to students and
practitioners alike.
