Social Work and Social Theory: Making Connections

Drawing on a range of theorists and competing perspectives, this substantially updated and expanded second edition places social theory at the heart of social work pedagogy.

This book imaginatively explores ways in which practitioners and social work educators might develop more critical and radical ways of theorising and working. It is an invaluable resource for students and contains features, such as Reflection and Talk Boxes, to encourage classroom and workplace discussions.

This new edition includes:

- An extensive additional chapter on Foucault

- Reworked and expanded versions of the chapters featured in the highly-praised first edition

- Revised Reflection and Talk Boxes

- New and updated references to stimulate further reading and research
