Social Work and Empowerment
Description
Originally published as Self Help, Social Work and Empowerment, this fully revised second edition sets out a framework for the development of empowering social work in different domains. It examines the inherently problematic concept of empowerment in social work, the tensions between the consumerism informing the operation of markets in health and social care in the wake of the NHS and Community Care Act 1990 and the development of an empowering practice.
