In recent years, social work academics and practitioners have
highlighted the need to "re-claim" methodologies which unpack
creativity and resourcefulness. In the bleakest of times many turn
to humour to survive. Making a unique contribution to social work
thought, this is the first book to focus exclusively on humour use
in relation to social work. Over eight chapters Jordan covers a
range of examples of social work humour, using examples from
practice, fiction and research. He concludes that social work has a
complex relationship with humour and that humour has an important
role in social work as it enables social workers to hold
contradictory views. It also allows society to manage its
ambivalent and contradictory view of social work. Aimed at
academics, students and social work professionals, this book
explores social work's sometimes uneasy relationship with humour.
It will be of interest to anyone with an academic interest in
humour.
