Social Work Values : An Enquiry Hardback
by Noel Timms
Part of the Routledge Revivals: Noel Timms series
Hardback
Description
Originally published in 1983 Social Work Values is a sustained enquiry about the present situation of social work.
It describes the treatment 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 ‘lists’ of social work values.
Second, it investigates three social work controversies: between the Charity Organisation Society and ‘the Socialists’; between the Functionalist and the Diagnostic schools of social work; and between ‘radical’ Marxists and ‘the rest’.
Third, and finally it explores the treatment of ‘value’ and ‘values’ in economics, sociology, ordinary usage, and philosophy, in order to establish the distinctive elements to which the term ‘values’ is applied.
