Critical Analysis Skills for Social Workers David Wilkins and Godfred Boahen University of Kent; The Open University, UK
Analysis is a critical skill for social workers, yet it is a skill that many practitioners find very difficult. This book offers a very basic, step-bystep model to help any social worker to develop an analytical mindset. It shows how analysis can be woven into the whole process of social work engagement, resulting in better decision making, more efficient ways of working and, ultimately, better outcomes for social work service users. Topics covered include: l l
l l l
What analysis is, and why it is such an important skill in practice The skills that underpin critical analysis, e.g. time management, planning, critical understanding, logical thinking, researchmindedness, creativity, communication, reflection and hypothesising The role of emotion and intuition in critical analysis Models to aid critical analysis The importance of supervision, and the idea that good analysis does not happen when social workers try to do it on their own
Written for all social workers, regardless of their area of practice, this invaluable resource will be used by students at the outset of their training, and while on placement. It is also a `must-have' purchase for practitioners involved in continuing professional development, supervision and training.

Working with Adults at Risk of Harm
Social Work, Neoliberalism and the ‘Modern’ World
Margaret Greenfields, Roger Dalrymple and Agnes Fanning (Eds) All at Buckinghamshire New University, UK
Paul Michael Garrett 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 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 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.
Working with Adults at Risk of Harm discusses adult vulnerability in a range of health, social care and community contexts through a series of 'thematic' approaches.
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.
The distinctive emphasis of the book combines an overview of the social policy context with a theorized and critical stance on each of the key areas. Issues of equality of opportunity and the position of minority communities are addressed in each chapter.

“This book offers many practical examples of research projects taken from the author’s own experience as a researcher. These examples illustrate the usually complex concepts of research methodology by showing how they are practised in the real world of social work.
