Description

Explore the complex relationship between social work practices and the language used within the field. Social Work and Received Ideas by Routledge provides a deep examination of both traditional and radical social work frameworks. This text looks at how language functions as a form of power within professional settings. The book presents a compelling argument regarding the nature of care. It explores how the fundamental desire to help and care for individuals can unintentionally lead to unexpected consequences. Readers will examine how these intentions can result in new types of dependency, control, and domination within the social work profession. This work is a valuable resource for those studying the power dynamics inherent in healthcare and social services. It offers a critical perspective on how professional help is structured and delivered, making it a significant addition to any collection focused on allied health professions and social theory.
