Existentialism and Social Work provides a clearly-expressed and
well-argued exposition of Sartrean existentialism as a theory base
for social work practice. It introduces the key concepts and themes
of the philosophy and relates them to social welfare theory and
practice. Existentialism is a valuable means of making sense of
many of the complexities, contradictions and dilemmas which social
work staff encounter. The book explores the relationship between
theory and practice and examines how existentialism can help to
bridge the gap. A number of theoretical perspectives are evaluated
from an existentialist perspective and links are drawn between
Sartre's philosophy and aspects of commonly used theories and
methods. But this is not simply a theoretical analysis. Neil
Thompson also explores the use of existentialism as a guide to
day-to-day practice and draws up a set of Principles for Practice .
The ultimate aim is to present existentialism as a concrete
philosophy of praxis.
