Social Work with Troubled Families : A Critical Introduction, Paperback / softback Book

Social Work with Troubled Families : A Critical Introduction Paperback / softback

Edited by Keith Davies

Paperback / softback

Description

A critical introduction to the Troubled Families Programme (TFP), this book explores the roots, significance and effectiveness of troubled family approaches in social work.

An important strand of government social policy, the TFP gives rise to a number of ethical and political questions about assertive outreach, choice, use of power and eliding the structural inequalities which, it is often argued, largely account for the difficulties troubled families face.

Social Work with Troubled Families: A Critical Introduction debates these issues, offers an examination of the systemic framework which underpins it and looks at the initiative in a broader context. This interdisciplinary study will be an important resource for social workers, social work students, practice educators and academics for its examination of practice methods.

As an exploration of social policy it will appeal to social scientists and to policy makers along with those who seek to influence them.
