Description

In the field of social work, academics and practitioners often look for ways to reclaim methodologies that tap into creativity and resourcefulness. During difficult times, many professionals turn to humour as a way to survive and cope with the demands of their roles. This book from the Routledge Advances in Social Work series makes a unique contribution to the field by being the first text to focus exclusively on how humour is used within social work contexts. Across eight detailed chapters, author Jordan explores the complex relationship between social work and humour. By drawing on examples from real-world practice, fiction, and existing research, the text examines how humour functions in various professional settings. This book provides a deep look at how humour can be both a tool for resilience and a subject of professional study, offering new perspectives for students and practitioners alike.
