Trying to understand how the world looks through the eyes of
individuals and groups and how it shapes the ways they think and
act is something social workers do all the time. It is what social
theorists do too. This book identifies and explains in a highly
accessible manner the absolute value of social theory for social
work. Drawing on the theoretical ideas and perspectives of a wide
range of classical and modern social theorists, the book
demonstrates the insights their work can bring to bear on a wide
range of social work practice scenarios, issues and debates.
Departing with the work of the classical theorists, the book covers
a diverse range of theoretical traditions including phenomenology,
symbolic interactionism, Norbert Elias, Michel Foucault, Pierre
Bourdieu, feminism and globalization theory. Putting to work ideas
from these different perspectives, a range of social work
scenarios, issues and debates are opened up and explored. The final
chapter brings together the various theoretical strands, and
critically considers the contribution they can make towards
realizing core social work values in a rapidly globalizing world.
Demonstrating exactly how and in what ways social theory can make
important and enduring contributions to social work, Social Theory
for Social Work is essentialial reading for social work students,
practitioners and professionals alike.
