How are identities formed among social workers, many of whom
perform complex, challenging and ambiguous public sector functions
on a regular basis? Why does identity come to matter for
professional social work? This book, the first of its kind in the
field, examines professional identity in relation to social work by
asking how practitioners think of themselves as a "social worker",
a professional self-concept often entangled in a range of
relations, beliefs, values and experiences. Bringing together the
perspectives of an internationally renowned group of specialists,
the collection addresses a range of issues associated with
professional identity construction and "being professional" in the
context of a rapidly changing inter-professional environment. It
introduces new concepts to social work, including materiality,
enactment, performance, affect, entanglement, capital and worth, to
consider the vexed issues surrounding matters of professional
identity in social work. This will be an essential guide to all
those keen to debate the challenges and possibilities confronting
contemporary social work through the lens of professional identity,
whether they are students, educators, practitioners, researchers,
managers, policy-makers or associated professionals. It will also
appeal to those interested in social theory, organisational
sociology and leadership as well as anyone working in related
fields of health and education.
