The traditional lines of demarcation between service providers and
service users are shifting. Professionals in managed service
organizations are working to incorporate the voices of service
users into their missions and the way they function, and service
users, with growing access to knowledge, have taken on the
semblances of professional expertise. Additionally, the human
services environment has been transformed by administrative
imperatives. The drive toward greater efficiency and accountability
has weakened the bond between users and providers. Reimagining the
Human Service Relationship is informed by the premise that the
helping relationship should be seen as developing in the
interactive space between those who provide human services and
those who receive them. The contributors to this volume redefine
the contours, roles, institutional divisions, means, and aims of
providing and receiving services in a range of settings, including
child welfare, addiction treatment, social enterprise, doctoring,
mental health, and palliative care. Though they advocate an
experience-near approach, they remain sensitive to the ambiguities
and competing rationalities of the service relationship. Taken
together, these chapters reimagine the service relationship by
making visible the working relevancies of service delivery.
