Social Work, Poverty and Social Exclusion

NEW

Dave Backwith

Richard Ingram

Social Work Perspectives on Human Behaviour 2/e

University of Dundee, UK

Margarete Parrish

Understanding Emotions in Social Work

BESTSELLER

Bournemouth University, UK

Anglia Ruskin University, UK

This book relates poverty and social exclusion to social work practice, offering a fresh approach to the challenges social workers face in helping clients out of poverty. It begins by examining the challenges posed by growing poverty, set against cuts in services and tightening eligibility criteria. The book argues that the impact social exclusion and poverty has on service user's lives requires social workers to gain a greater awareness of both concepts and their relationship to social work practice. Chapters consider topical issues such as the role poverty plays in child protection issues, and the dilemmas social workers face in working with asylum seekers. A theme of the book is inequalities in health: that most service users suffer more illness, disability and premature death, because they are poor and excluded. Key features of the book include: • Numerous quotations and vignettes give insights into social workers' and service users' real experiences • "What Do You Think?" exercises encourage students to actively engage with the issues and think critically about their understanding of poverty • Reflective questions are included to spark lively debate around ethics, beliefs and values

As a social work student or practitioner it is essential to be able to understand, recognize and critically reflect on your own emotions and those of others. Consciously or unconsciously, emotions play an integral role in dayto-day decision making, assessments and relationship building, and a lack of emotional awareness and understanding can result in poor practice and biased thinking. Practical and engaging, this book will encourage you to consider the role of emotions in light of your own experiences and practice contexts. Key topics include: • Understanding what emotions are and how they apply to social work practice • Recognising and reflecting upon the emotional content of practice • Incorporating emotions in reflective journals, reports, case notes, critical incident analysis and academic writing • Understanding the conscious and unconscious emotions at play in your practice and how these can impact upon the development of positive relationships • Enhancing understanding of self and the importance of resilience • Understanding the role of emotions in supervision, support and reflection.

Contents: Introduction / Poverty and social work / Understanding social exclusion / Broken Britain? The social context of poverty and social exclusion / Children and families: Poverty, abuse and practice / Old age: A new social divide? / Mental distress, recovery and mutual aid / Making space: Tackling poverty and social exclusion / Conclusion: Love in a cold climate / Appendix one: Fair access to care service (FACS) bandings / References

Contents: Part 1: What are emotions and why are they important in social work? / What are emotions? / Locating emotions in the context of social work / Reflection and the exploration of emotions / Part 2: Applying and understanding emotions in social work practice / Engaging and communicating with service users and carers / Emotions and written recordings in social work / Emotions, supervision and support / Organisational culture and emotions / Emotions and the social work professional / Concluding thoughts

“This is the most useful text I have ever found for teaching social care and youth students the basic explanatory frameworks for human behaviour. It is superbly balanced in that it gives weight to all perspectives and proffers critiques of key theories. It is also very strong in applying theory to practice - a skill which is always difficult to develop in students. Particular areas of strength are the chapters on attachment and mental health/ trauma. The work is an engaging read as it includes some fascinating historical insights and illustrations as well as contemporary case studies. I will certainly recommend it to my students.” Gwen Chaney, Course Leader for Social Care and Faculty Lead for Learning and Teaching, University of Gloucestershire, UK Using bio-psychosocial framework, the textbook explains the wide basis of perspectives on which we build an understanding of people's behaviours and why and how we respond in the way we do. This book accessibly explains key concepts including attachment, trauma, developmental psychology and oppression. The book now includes: • A brand new chapter on Attachment • More coverage of neurological concepts and their influence on behaviour • Expanded material on older people and resilience, crime and violence against black and minority ethnic groups, and domestic violence issues • More coverage of mental health, alcohol and drugs and their impact on behaviour Fully updated to reflect the Munro report and recent social worker task force recommendations, this new edition also includes brand new and additional case studies and pedagogy.

The Dementia Care Workbook

Margaret Greenfields, Roger Dalrymple and Agnes Fanning (Eds) All at Bucks New University, UK

“This important book brings together valuable resources and insights in a key area of practice which has often been overlooked, and where disadvantage and discrimination are rife, but which also deserves and demands serious attention of the kind offered here.” Roger Smith, Professor of Social Work Research, De Montfort University, UK This comprehensive book uniquely acknowledges the overlap between different states of adult vulnerability within a range of health, social care and community contexts. The book looks beyond social work practice and legislative focus to examine the categories of ‘at risk’ and ‘vulnerable adults’. These include often forgotten groups such as homeless people, prisoners and migrant workers. Through a range of practical examples, the book illustrates how professionals can usefully and effectively intervene to lessen the chance of a member of an excluded community becoming at greater ‘risk’ of further vulnerability. The book includes: • Explanations of core themes and implications for a range of professionals and service providers with a practical and accessible focus • Case studies and practice examples from work with vulnerable groups • Illustrative examples of how different states of vulnerability are frequently contingent upon one another Working with Adults at Risk from Harm is ideal for third-year undergraduate students and Master's students in the fields of social work, social care, community health and education, as well as staff working in public sector who will have contact with vulnerable individuals in their professional life.

While it makes a conventional bow to the necessity for up-to-date research and evidencebased practice, it is unusual in its insistence that to be fully understood these issues must also be seen in both a historic and a cross-cultural perspective. This updated edition should prove invaluable to students, academics, policy makers and professionals across many jurisdictions.” Helen Buckley, Associate Professor and Co-ordinator, Postgraduate Diploma in Child Protection and Welfare, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland This seminal text on theory and research has been fully updated in terms of policy, cases and research.

Good communication skills are essential for effective social work practice. This book brings current, relevant and contested areas of social work practice to life by using scripts from real life situations to demonstrate every day scenarios social workers encounter when communicating with children and their families. Each chapter takes a key aspect of communication: engagement; negotiation; investigation; use of power and persistence and presents it in a context of good professional practice. It also examines the common pitfalls that workers could fall into and contextualises the script through comparison with a contemporary case study. Relevant theoretical frameworks, legislation, policy and ethical dilemmas are included for each situation. This engaging and innovative book gives social work students and professionals a thorough understanding of the best ways to communicate with children and their families in complex and challenging situations. The book also has relevance to other professionals such as those working in health, education, police and the voluntary sector.

SOCIAL WORK WITH CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE ‘Transforming’ Children’s Services?

Understanding Advocacy for Children and Young People

Social Work, Neoliberalism and the ‘Modern’ World

Jane Boylan and Jane Dalrymple

National University in Galway, Ireland

“This is an excellent book and one of the best I have read for some time. It is a must have for all social work and social policy students and practitioners. Policy makers and managers should also read and digest this, even though they will probably find large parts an uncomfortable read.” Steve Rogowski, Review in Professional Social Work This book provides an accessible overview of the ‘transformation’ of Children’s Services. In doing this, it draws on social theory, critical social policy and takes account of developments in other countries. Paul Michael Garrett argues that the many changes which have taken place within, and beyond, Children’s Services are related to the politics of Neoliberalism which, it is maintained, lie at the core of the Change for Children programme. Paperback £26.99 2009 200pp

ISBN: 978-0-335-23425-7 eBook: 978-0-335-23954-2

“The authors of this most instructive book see the 'radical potential' of advocacy to promote the voice and agency of the young ... This is a significant book ... It should prove useful to students of social work, law, and pre-eminently of children's rights. It is not an easy read, but it is well worth engaging with.” Children and Society, Vol 24. 2010 Presenting children and young people's advocacy as an exciting, radical and constantly developing way of working, this book explores its controversial and challenging nature through a comprehensive examination of the theory and practice of advocacy. The authors draw on their own research and the experiences of young people, advocates and professionals working with children and young people to examine key messages and debates that have emerged. Case examples are used to illustrate advocacy dilemmas in a range of settings. Paperback £24.99 2009 160pp
