The analysis of social and public policy and professional practice
has become increasingly theoretical in recent years. This volume
draws together experienced practitioners and academics in social
work, probation and counselling, as well as from other forms of
legal and social practice, to better understand the relationship
between theory, policy and practice. The contributors argue that
the use of theory in studying policy and practice is overall a
positive and necessary development. However, they also highlight
and explore a number of methodological problems and philosophical
issues for critical reflection: c The often inaccessible nature of
abstract theoretical argument c Perceived problems of relevance and
applicability to practice given the structure and purpose of
theoretical modelling; c Philosophical difficulties and questions
when applying theoretical generalization to policy and practice.
The authors address these problems in a style fully accessible to
non-theorists, offering a unique multi-disciplinary resource for
students, academics, policy analysts and practitioners.
