Fundamentals of Social Work in Selected European Countries : Historical and Political Context, Present Theory, Practice and Perspectives

In this groundbreaking book academics and practitioners write about social work in their own countries using a shared terminology, which is defined in a glossary, to facilitate comparison and learning from each other. separate chapters cover historical and political contexts, present theories, practice and perspectives in eight countries. the editors' conclusion illustrates that although the debates in each country may sound familiar, there are both similarities and significant differences in context and outcome and therefore much that we can learn from each other.
