Anti Oppressive Social Work Theory and Practice

by Lena Dominelli, Jo Campling (Editor)

This book, by one of the leading theorists of social work, tackles a subject of crucial importance to students and practitioners how social workers can enable their clients to challenge and transcend the manifold oppressions that disempower them (whether through poverty, disability, mental illness, etc.). It moves from a discussion of social work's purpose and ambitions to an exposition of theory and, from there, to the practice arenas of working with individuals, in groups, within organisations, and within a wider social and political context.
