Important features of this new edition include:§ practical ways of analysing personal professional identity§ understanding how social workers embody their profession in their practice with other professionals§ detailed analysis of current and historical documents defining social work and social care analysis of values, agencies and global social work. This new edition will stimulate social workers, students and policy-makers in social care to think again about the valuable role social work plays in society.
