The social work profession is being challenged today to adapt to changing societal and cultural conditions and to carve out a new societal niche. Foucault's work offers a particularly relevant entry point for revisiting social work's mission, activities, and objectives. A critical reexamination of its practices, institutional arrangements, and knowledge helps us to envision alternative social work practices and strategies for social change. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter emphasizes different notions from Foucault's writings. Contributions include conceptual, philosophical, and methodological considerations, and discussions from various fields and levels of practice. The book covers policy in child welfare and child protection; gay-lesbian youth services; grief work and the family; client-worker interaction in a welfare office; and the social movement of the elderly. It includes a rountable discussion with Foucault on social work and a glossary.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Reading Foucault for Social Work | Adrienne Chambon | Paperback | 9780231107174 | Used: Good | Back Stacks E 1743250","offer_id":48180320764056,"sku":"1743250","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71KSpSyEEPL.jpg?v=1772222644","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/reading-foucault-for-social-work","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
