| Abstract
|
:
|
"Engaging the reader in a theoretically informed yet accessible analysis, Challenging Social Work demonstrates why social work needs to reconstitute itself and develop new responses as the institutional framework that supports it is called into question. It offers an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the character and purpose of social work."--Jacket.
