Support and Protection Across the Lifecourse

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
