Sinopsis

Originally published in 1983 Social Work Values is a sustained enquiry about the present situation of social work. It describes theátreatment of social work values in the social work literature and in research, and pursues three distinct avenues towards an improvement on the present unsatisfactory treatment. First, the book introduces and encourages more philosophical reflection on the customary âÇÖlistsâÇÖ of social work values. Second, it investigates three social work controversies: between the Charity Organisation Society and âÇÖthe SocialistsâÇÖ, between the Functionalist and the Diagnostic schools of social work, and between âÇÖradicalâÇÖ Marxists and âÇÖthe restâÇÖ. Third, and finally it explores the treatment of âÇÖvalueâÇÖ and âÇÖvaluesâÇÖ in economics, sociology, ordinary usage, and philosophy, in order to establish the distinctive elements to which the term âÇÖvaluesâÇÖ is applied.
