As a social work student or practitioner it is essential to be able
to understand, recognize and critically reflect on your own
emotions and those of others. Consciously or unconsciously,
emotions play an integral role in day-to-day decision making,
assessments and relationship building, and a lack of emotional
awareness and understanding can result in poor practice and a
failure to think critically. Practical and engaging, this book
encourages you to consider the role of emotions in the light of
your own experiences and practice contexts. Key topics include:
Understanding what emotions are and how they apply to social work
practice Recognizing and reflecting upon the emotional content of
practice Incorporating emotions in reflective journals, reports,
case notes, critical incident analysis and academic writing
Understanding the conscious and unconscious emotions at play in
your practice and how these can impact upon the development of
positive relationships Enhancing understanding of self and the
importance of resilience Understanding the role of emotions in
supervision, support and reflection In addition, each chapter
includes case studies, to make the link between theory and
practice, reflective exercises to encourage the reader to consider
the discussion from their own contexts and perspectives. There will
also be key learning points to summarise the main ideas presented
at the end of each chapter. This is an invaluable book for all
social work students and early career practitioners aiming to boost
their self-awareness and personal wellbeing, and ultimately improve
their practice. "This is a timely publication that reinforces the
centrality of emotions and emotional intelligence in social work
practice - a must read for all aspiring and practising social
workers." Gillian Ruch, Professor of Social Work, School of
Education and Social Work, University of Sussex, UK "What
Understanding Emotions in Social Work does is cuts across all
layers of the social work curriculum and indeed the "resistance and
lethargy'' regarding ''the role of emotions within social work
practice" that Ingram refers to. It affords us with a medium
through which to explore the substance of that which causes us to
react and provides us with a space in which to learn more about
what it means to respond; both to ourselves and to those we engage
with. It is a book for anyone involved in professional social work
education and practice; one that will become a well-thumbed
addition to the discerning practitioner's library. " Amanda M L
Taylor, Senior Lecturer, School of Social Work, University of
Central Lancashire, UK "Understanding Emotions in Social Work:
Theory, practice and reflection, highlights the importance of
emotion in social work practice. Dr Richard Ingram clearly makes
the case that the recognition of, reflection upon, responsiveness
to, and regulation of emotion, contributes to effective social work
practice, as well as, the development of healthy practitioners and
practice environments. This book reinforces how social work is
primarily a human interactive and relational practice in which
emotion and affect have a pivotal role. I highly recommend
Understanding Emotions in Social Work as an essential text for
students, social workers, supervisors and managers." Associate
Professor Kieran O'Donoghue, Head of School of Social Work, Massey
University, New Zealand "This is one of those books that you will
keep on your desk and look back at time and time again. It is
written in a very accessible style and is easily picked up. Dr.
Ingram locates emotions within social work practice and guides the
reader through a number of case study's and learning activities to
explore this concept in-depth. This has been a very helpful text
book during my final placement." Darren Gibson, Social Work
Student, Dundee University, UK
'Stirring' Roger Lewis, Daily Mail, BOOK OF THE WEEK 'A warm and
worthy tribute' The Times 'Elegantly written, thought-provoking'
The Lady 'A lucid and affectionate portrait of one of the great
journalists of his day' Observer Sir Ludovic Kennedy was a British
journalist, television personality, humanist and author. Following
a brief naval career, Ludo devoted his life to what he referred to
as his 'lifelong obsession with miscarriages of justice' and he
fought this cause tirelessly, until he died in 2009. He is best
known for re-examining cases such as the kidnapping of American
toddler Charles Lindbergh, about which he wrote his most ambitious
book on injustice, The Airman and the Carpenter. Ludo's writings
and work on other cases such as the murder convictions of Timothy
Evans and Derek Bentley were unique in that they often dispelled
the breeding ground for conspiracy theories and regularly heralded
dramatic changes of public opinion. Ludo is considered to be hugely
influential in the abolition of the death penalty in the UK as well
as other legal reforms, most notably the Police and Criminal
Evidence Act (1984) which obligated police to tape-record the
questioning of suspects. His life story is one that deserves to be
remembered and celebrated. Richard Ingrams first met Ludovic
Kennedy in 1963 and the pair quickly bonded over their shared goal
of exposing the fallible nature of the British justice system.
Ingrams interweaves this biography with detailed analysis of the
cases to which Ludo dedicated his life, vividly recapturing the
spirit of his friend and colleague.
It is too often forgotten that during World War II British women
made a contribution to the war effort, in uniform and under
military discipline, second to none among the combatant nations.
For the first time this book records the uniforms and insignia worn
by the women's services in all theatres of war, in more than 220
colour photographs of rare original items from private collections.
Full-length studies, modelled 'live', are supported by many
close-up views and with detailed text commentaries. Together they
form an invaluable reference for collectors, modellers, wardrobe
departments, curators, and all readers interested in the period or
costume history. This is the seventh in the Europa Militaria
Special series.
A paperback edition of this classic work, which describes and
illustrates the uniforms and equipment of the WWII British soldier
using original items worn by live models in authentic settings. A
huge range of subjects is covered, from the uniforms and equipment
of the front line infantryman, to the officers' and men's
walking-out dress, the special kit issued to tank crews, air-landed
and mountain troops, motorcyclists, medics, arctic clothing,
anti-gas kit and assault kit, even down to the demob suits issued
to discharged soldiers in 1945.
This book provides social workers with a framework for reflecting
on their day-to-day practice. Using a social worker's diary as a
starting point, it provides valuable insight in to how reflection
enhances skills and how factors such as values and emotions can
shape social work practice.
A collection of pieces from J.B. Morton's humorous Beachcomber
column in The Daily Express, from the period between 1958 and 1975.
The legendary characters featured include the mad scientist Dr

perplexed Mr Justice Cocklecarrot.
