Reviews
-
The book aims to 'devise a 'new politics' for social work in the belief that [the field] bears a public responsibility to confront injustice while seeking justice for all … A key contribution of the book is its potential to stimulate debate … Readers will find instructive examples of practice and policy aimed at developing and delivering values-based practice in today's austere human services environment.
