Reviews / Votes
"I would highly recommend this book to any newly qualified social worker, as it provides an insightful message to practitioners and allows them to build confidence around working with conflict, explaining how it should be approached." Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care "Acknowledging contemporary practice challenges while traversing the social and the individual, Forrester positions social work as central to the promotion of human rights. A must-read for students and practitioners." Henry Smith, Lecturer in Social Work, University of Sussex "In this comprehensive and thought-provoking book, Forrester reconsiders a number of taken-for-granted ideas about social work and then shines a new light on them. The book is of interest not just to students but also to more experienced social workers and their supervisors." David Shemmings OBE, Emeritus Professor, University of Kent and Royal Holloway, University of London "Covering the 18th century to the current day, Forrester leads the reader on an essential intellectual journey towards defining the true purpose and value of the social work profession." Isabelle Trowler CBE, Chief Social Worker for Children and FamiliesMore details
