The second edition of this key text renews its challenge to the
established social work culture of managerialism and effectiveness,
arguing that existing social work provision can fail the people it
aims to support and protect. This second edition of Social Work
Management and Practice: Systems Principles, which was first
published in 1989, has now been extensively revised, and reflects
the development of both systems ideas and policy implementation
since that time. The authors apply the latest systems principles to
the practice and management of social work. Drawing on Gregory
Bateson's work, they show how creative social work can bring about
real and positive change in the ecology of people's lives. This
edition contains one new chapter analysing the competencies
approach in social work training and updates the family therapy
developments, and contains substantial new material on management.
This powerful and accessible book demonstrates how a systems-based
approach can support people in using their own resources to make
new and innovative responses to difficult situations.
