In understanding the nature and causes of this cycle, little attention has been paid to the importance of collective emotions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Using a range of cases from the UK, and also considering cases from the Netherlands, the US and New Zealand, this book introduces the concept of emotional politics. It shows how collective emotions, such as anger, shame, fear and disgust, are central to constructions of risk and blame, and are generated and reflected by official documents, politicians and the media. The book considers strategies for challenging these 'emotional politics', including identifying models for a more politically engaged stance for the social work profession.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joanne Warner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Policy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447318439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoanne Warner\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer in social work at the University of Kent, UK.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Policy Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44894791336051,"sku":"9781447318439","price":50.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_00a9f601-496d-4b1d-b014-ce3fe80e97d6.jpg?v=1777052151","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-emotional-politics-of-social-work-and-child-protection-9781447318439","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
