Description

This Routledge publication examines the profound changes in social service practice over a 15-year period. It addresses the gap in literature regarding how shifts in the welfare state affect professionals in the field. The book explores how fiscal decisions, cost containment, and privatization strategies from the 1980s changed both the context and the content of social service work. It provides a response to the first-hand accounts of workers describing the transformation of their craft. This text serves as a study of the relationship between broader economic changes and the restructuring of professional social services.
