Developed from the author's own experiences in social work and
social work education, this book considers alternative approaches
for social workers in dealing with the extensive demands,
persistent pressures, and stress that they may face in their daily
working lives. The Positive Social Worker is firmly located in an
individual, group, organisational, cultural, and socio-political
context. It considers and celebrates concepts linked to the
importance, and sources, of work-related well-being. Individual
chapters describe and critically analyse the social work context,
the role of hope, optimism, commitment, resilience, support,
appraisals, positive emotions, and coping, self-efficacy, control,
and agency. Throughout, clear links are made with social work
practice. While the book concentrates on a UK context, it draws on
literature from social work, social, organisational, work, and
positive psychology and sociology, from the UK, the USA, Europe,
Australasia, and other countries. This book should be considered
essential reading for social workers, graduate and postgraduate
social work students, practice teachers, and lecturers. It will
also be of relevance to professionals and professionals-in-training
in the criminal justice and health and social care fields.
