Opis

The analysis of social and public policy and professional practice has become increasingly theoretical in recent years. This volume draws together experienced practitioners and academics in social work, probation and counselling, as well as from other forms of legal and social practice, to better understand the relationship between theory, policy and practice.

Recenzje

’We all employ value judgements and theories in our work and everyday lives, often without realizing it. This masterful and original book seizes this point and runs with it, offering an accessible, thought-provoking and highly informative discussion of the connections between theory and practice. It is a must for academics and practitioners concerned about today's leading social and ethical issues.’ Ken Blakemore, Swansea University, UK
