Opis

While writing this book and discussing every now and then the issue with other people, I used to receive the following and similar questions: "Is there anything new and interesting that can be said or written about social work in Lithuania? So many things have already been written over 20 years of its development!". However, unlike the absolute majority of published research papers on the issue of social work, the book looks at this phenomenon by taking an 'external' rather than 'internal' approach, by combining the knowledge of politics, sociology, economics for the cognition and explanation of social work development towards the acknowledged profession.
