Publisher's Synopsis
Crossing the traditional divide between social work with children and families and adults, this text applies a lifecourse perspective, within an ecological frame. Based on the principle that practice drives theory, a practical approach for social work is put forward using five interconnected themes:
duality of support and protection
life transitions and life events
intergenerational relations
civic partnership and engagement
health and wellbeing
Designed for students and practitioners, this text takes an enquiry-based approach using Critical ART (analysis, reflection and thinking). The book features:
case studies
research examples
tips for Critical ART in practice
further reading and resources
