The impetus for this book is the shift in welfare policy in Western
Europe from state responsibilities to individual and community
responsibilities. The book examines the ways in which policies
associated with advanced liberalism and New Public Management can
be identified as influencing professional practices to promote
personalisation, participation, empowerment, recovery and
resilience. In examining the concept of 'responsibilisation' from
the point of view of both the 'responsibilised client and welfare
worker', the book breaks from the traditional literature to
demonstrate how responsibilities are negotiated during
multi-professional care planning meetings, home visits, staff
meetings, focus groups and interviews with different stakeholders.
The settings examined in the book can be described as on the
'margins of welfare' - mental health, substance abuse, homelessness
services and probation work, where the rights and responsibilities
of clients and workers are uncertain and constantly under review.
Each chapter approaches the management of responsibilities from a
particular angle by combining responsibilisation theory and
discourse analysis to examine everyday encounters. Taken together,
the chapters paint a comprehensive picture of the
responsibilisation practices at the margins of welfare services and
provide an extensive discussion of the implications for policy and
practice. Drawing upon both the governmentality literature and
everyday encounters, the book provides a broad approach to a key
topic. It will therefore be a valuable resource for social policy,
public administration, social work and human service researchers
and students, and social and health care professionals.
