Description
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
* duality of support and protection
* life transitions and life events
* intergenerational relations
* civic partnership and engagement
* health and wellbeing
