Social Work by Jan Fook

This highly regarded book is now in its Second Edition. Widely recommended across social work degrees, Jan Fook is an authority on this subject.

′The strength of this book lies in its coherent exposition of a critical stance

towards both technocratic and structural social work, offering something

strong and coherent in their placeIt expounds an approach to critical practice

that is both theoretically grounded and accessible to students and practitioners.

Students can engage with the issues and use Fook’s work to understand and

develop their practice differently′

′This second edition is a very welcome addition to the library shelf. Aimed at social work students and practitioners, this revised volume identifies the features of a critical approach to social work practice. These include commitments to anti-oppressive practice and social change, and the recognition that personal problems can be traced back to the socio-economic contents of individual lives. Any reader - from new student to seasoned practitioner - will find something here to sharpen up their critical thinking and the way they work′ -
