Description

Power and control sit at the heart of statutory social work. In a profession grounded in social justice, practices of control are often positioned as reinforcing inequality and oppression. Yet normative critiques of control embedded within conflictual theories of power can lead to overlooking the complex realities of everyday practice. Drawing on practitioner and service user interviews, case file analysis and detailed observations, this book offers a rare ethnographic account of how control is enacted, negotiated and experienced in community mental health settings. Informed by Foucauldian conceptions of power, it moves beyond abstract debate to examine what control looks like on the ground. Combining original research with critical analysis, it reveals the value of an ethically informed but non-prescriptive approach to the ambiguities of control, allowing for a more modest, honest and heterogenous orientation to progressive forms of practice.
