Beschreibung
In these times of financial stringency and conservatism in the public sector, social work, with its diversity and differentiation, is criticized for its lack of efficiency and cost effectiveness. First published in 1990, Lessons from the Past. demonstrates the need for a more refined theory and practice to benefit social workers, their clients, and their agencies, as well as influencing government legislation and policies. Richard Roberts criticizes and evaluates a significant body of social work writings from the 1970s in its search for a 'grand', all-encompassing theory. Variously described as 'generic', 'integrated' or 'unitary', these theories attempted to construct propositions that would accommodate social work's broad domain, regardless of setting, method of intervention, or socio-political context. Crisp and innovative, Lessons from the Past. will prove invaluable to professionals and students of social work, social policy, and the social sciences.
