| Description: |
This text critiques the underlying values, philosophy, and weaknesses of social work. It is a highly critical analysis of social work and it's current state, and is suitable for scholars, researchers, and professionals dealing with issues of social welfare theory and policy. |
| Synopsis: |
Mohan argues that science and values need not serve at cross purposes. In the case of social work, a self-serving professional enterprise breeds a dysfunctional culture that must be challenged on ethical grounds. In addition to a critique of the contemporary social work culture, Mohan offers a paradigmatic view of discursive practice in light of the legitimacy crisis. The author pleads for a new paradigm of social work education, practice, and research. Social work's crisis, Mohan contends, emanates from an ideological hiatus and unprincipled pragmatism that promotes de-developmental policies and programs. A highly critical analysis of social work, its present state, weaknesses, and problems, this book will be of great use to scholars, researchers, and professionals dealing with issues of social welfare theory and policy. |
