This is the first book-length introduction to the work of Michel
Foucault in social work. The social work profession is being
challenged today to adapt to changing societal and cultural
conditions and to carve out a new societal niche. Foucault's work
offers a particularly relevant entry point for revisiting social
work's mission, activities, and objectives. A critical
reexamination of its practices, institutional arrangements, and
knowledge helps us to envision alternative social work practices
and strategies for social change.
Each chapter emphasizes different notions from Foucault's
writings. Contributions include conceptual, philosophical, and
methodological considerations, and discussions from various fields
and levels of practice. The book covers policy in child welfare and
child protection; gay-lesbian youth services; grief work and the
family; client-worker interaction in a welfare office; and the
social movement of the elderly. It includes a rountable discussion
with Foucault on social work and a glossary.
