Praise for the new edition:"This revised text should be read by all
practitioners in health and social care settings who supports
people with complex needs and who aim to promote anti-oppressive
and person-centred practice. A variety of activities is presented
in each chapter to stimulate readers to reflect on the cases and
concepts under discussion. This text represents a valuable
companion for professionals involved in learning disability
practice." Learning Disability Practice"This new edition proves to
be a substantial updating of the 1995 edition. The coverage is
analytical and clearly related to anti-oppressive practice. It is
important to persuade students of the necessity of action to put
their values into practice - this book is a real boon and should be
required reading up and down the country." Mark Baldwin, University
of Bath.In the new edition of this bestselling text, the authors
challenge the notion that anti-oppressive practice has lost its
potency or become commodified into a professional response to
inequalities. Retaining a commitment to the principles and values
of anti-oppressive practice, discussion about contemporary practice
is guided by a critical understanding of personal values and the
context of practice. Some key questions are explored: How is
anti-oppressive practice relevant in contemporary practice?How can
the law be used as an empowering tool?How can the law be used to
develop and inform anti-oppressive practice? The second edition is
substantially revised and updated to take account of policy and
legislative changes, with a new chapter addressing critical
practice in social work as well as additional activities, chapter
summaries and further reading at the end of each chapter.The
authors draw on their own experiences and those of practitioners,
service users and carers to understand issues of power and
oppression, demonstrating how the law can be used to inform the
development of critical anti-oppressive practice. The book
therefore points the way to practice that is both empowering to
service users and ultimately liberating for practitioners.
Anti-Oppressive Practice is an essential text for students,
practitioners, lecturers, service users and carers.
