Description

Explore the complex history and social status of one of the most widely used terms in modern discourse. In Empowerment: A Critique, part of the Routledge Key Themes in Health and Society series, McLaughlin examines how the concept of empowerment emerged in the 1960s and rose to dominance by the 1990s. This academic volume provides a deep look into how the term is used across social policy, social work, and health and social care sectors. Rather than accepting empowerment as a self-evident good, this book interrogates its impact on political subjects. McLaughlin argues that the current focus on empowerment may have replaced the ability of individuals to exercise power autonomously. This text is an essential resource for students and professionals looking to understand the relationship between empowerment and power within social and political frameworks.
