Social Work by Lena Dominelli

Social Work by Lena Dominelli

Explores the dilemmas and tensions that practitioners are compelled to resolve in their work. Drawing on a broad range of theories, this title outlines the knowledge, skills and values that enable practitioners to respond effectively to the demands made of them in fluid contexts.

"Dominelli's excellent book examines the neo-liberal political traditions that have resulted in social work becoming such a 'troubled and troubling profession'"

Health Service Journal

"This is an ambitious and challenging book. It recognizes that contemporary social work is in some difficulty in the face of the ascendancy of neo-liberalism. Social work has been deeply affected by such reactionary pressures both locally and internationally. Dominelli does not shrink away from these challenges and in Social Work provides critical information and analysis which will help all those working for a resurgent social work practice committed to social justice and human rights."

Chris Jones, University of Liverpool

"Dominelli applies a critical and creative perspective to social work in our current global environment. She challenges our conventional assumptions regarding the role and practice of social work and social workers to propose ways in which we can rethink our purpose. This book makes a major contribution to social work theory and practice."
