Social work deals with the heavy end of human difficulties such as
cruelty, self-destructiveness, and severe and enduring mental
health problems. How do social workers make sense of the emotional
difficulties which come with the realities of practice?
Understanding our clients is the best way of dealing with complex
situations and avoiding burnout and stress. The contributors to
this book argue that psychoanalysis provides a theory of
development and behaviour capable of formulating a realistic model
for understanding emotional difficulties and disturbances in both
clients and ourselves. The chapters demonstrate a way of thinking
for the practitioner that can be used in all situations. The book
examines in detail some of the difficult and disturbing
conversations that social workers have with clients of all ages. It
provides a psychoanalytic framework for understanding circumstances
which may be puzzling, stressful or frightening, and a theory whose
value for many social work problems is well underpinned by research
evidence. Written by senior practitioners who are all still working
in the front line, this book puts complex real life experiences
into words, to help the social worker become a more effective
practitioner.
