Description:

This monograph on working in social care offers a systematic approach, which encompasses the reasons why such an approach is relevant; covers the development of social work; lays down the key principles; and examines the dynamics of the worker-agency-service user triangle.

Synopsis:

This book is designed to aid the practitioner in all social care and social work settings. It explores approaches to practice which are based upon systemic ideas and an awareness of the impact of power in practice contexts. Following the introduction of the main ideas of the book, the authors examine the systemic approach from three perspectives: key principles - to help guide practice and practice teaching; the central triangular process - between service user, worker and agency the work process - examining the triangular relationship over time. The authors address practitioners directly, not only by drawing on their own practice experience, but also by highlighting key practical questions for the reader to consider.
