About the Book
What is Professional Social Work? is a now-classic text that analyzes the discipline of social work through three distinct perspectives: social order, therapeutic, and transformational practices. It helps social workers critically examine the role of their profession in contemporary multiprofessional social care settings.
This fully rewritten second edition expands on the social work profession’s ongoing efforts to achieve social progress through interpersonal practice. Notable features of this edition include:
-
Practical tools for analyzing one’s professional identity
-
Insights into how social workers express their profession in their practice with other professionals
-
Detailed analysis of current and historical documents that define social work and social care
-
In-depth exploration of values, agencies, and global social work issues
This edition aims to encourage social workers, students, and policymakers to reconsider the valuable role social work plays in shaping society today.
