Description

Explore the evolution of professional social work in this insightful text from Routledge. This book examines how the field has shifted over the last forty years, moving away from the post-war social democratic consensus toward the current era of neoliberalism. As the welfare state has changed, the role of the practitioner has undergone a significant transformation. Instead of the government ensuring basic needs are met, the rise of free market economics has placed a new focus on individual self-reliance and self-responsibility. This book tracks how social work with children and families has transitioned from a supportive and helping role into one that is often more authoritarian. This text provides a deep look into the systemic changes affecting practitioners today. It is an essential read for those studying the history and current state of social work within the medical, legal, and social sciences. Understand the impact of economic shifts on family services and the changing nature of professional practice in a modern context.
