  • Sociological Paradigms and Organisational Analysis: Elements of the Sociology of Corporate Life

    Taylor & Francis Ltd Sociological Paradigms and Organisational Analysis: Elements of the Sociology of Corporate Life

    15 in stock

    The authors argue in this book that social theory can usefully be conceived in terms of four broad paradigms, based upon different sets of meta-theoretical assumptions with regard to the nature of social science and the nature of society. The four paradigms - Functionalist, Interpretive, Radical Humanist and Radical Structuralist - derive from quite distinct intellectual traditions, and present four mutually exclusive views of the social work. Each stands in its own right, and generates its own distinctive approach to the analysis of social life. The authors provide extensive reviews of the four paradigms, tracing the evolution and inter-relationships between the various sociological schools of thought within each. They then proceed to relate theories of organisation to this wider background. This book covers a great range of intellectual territory. It makes a number of important contributions to our understanding of sociology and organisational analysis, and will prove an invaluable guide to theorists, researchers and students in a variety of social science disciplines. It stands as a discourse in social theory, drawing upon the general area of organisation studies - industrial sociology, organisation theory, organisational psychology, and industrial relations - as a means of illustrating more general sociological themes. In addition to reviewing and evaluating existing work, it provides a framework for appraising future developments in the area of organisational analysis, and suggests the form which some of these developments are likely to take.

  • An Introduction to Social Work Theory

    Taylor & Francis Ltd An Introduction to Social Work Theory

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisSocial workers need to recognize the critical role that theory plays both in the way they make sense of what is going on and in the way they order their work. Such recognition clarifies practice for both the worker and the client. David Howe's classic text provides a framework to help social workers develop an understanding of the theories which inescapably underpin their thoughts and actions. This edition contains a new preface by the author, written in 2008, in which he examines the continuing value of his framework, concluding that it remains an effective tool for making sense of the profession's most current ideas. The book covers a range of theoretical approaches, demonstrating through examples that different theories necessarily lead to very different practices. It offers a stimulating guide to social work theory which is proven to help social workers both to understand their practices and to practise in a disciplined and imaginative way.Table of ContentsContents: Introduction; The consumer reports; Making sense; Sorting out social work theories; The world of objects and subjects; Order and conflict in society; A taxonomy of social work theories; The fixers; The psychoanalytic tradition in social work; Behavioural social work; The seekers after meaning; Client-centred approaches; The raisers of consciousness; Radical practice; The revolutionaries; Marxist social work; Theories for social work and theories of social work; Bibliography; Subject index; Name index.

  • Assessing Needs and Planning Care in Social Work

    Taylor & Francis Ltd Assessing Needs and Planning Care in Social Work

    5 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe assessment of needs and the process of planning care are central issues in modern social work practice. Skilled assessment of client needs and strengths is essential to effective planning and efficient provision of quality social work services including both counselling and personal care. The focus of this book is on the development of the skills required at each stage of the social work process: assessment, care planning, implementation and evaluation. Throughout the book a balance is maintained between the focus on client involvement and the role of the social worker in an agency. The latter part of the book addresses practical issues in developing new approaches to assessment and care planning: primary workers, individual support and managing change. Social work practitioners, managers and trainers and students on qualifying and pre-qualifying training will find this an invaluable aid to the development of sound and yet creative practice.Trade Review'...written clearly, is free of jargon and contains a wealth of information and thoughtful discussion. The theoretical content is skilfully related to examples of practice and I felt I was being gently lead through concepts which were sometimes complex and profound.'

  • Personal Safety for Social Workers

    Taylor & Francis Ltd Personal Safety for Social Workers

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book is aimed at employers, managers and staff in social work agencies. Historically there has been a slowness to acknowledge the risks which social workers routinely face and some employers have adopted a re-active approach, waiting for incidents to occur before taking action. They are thus placed in the position of having to make policy 'on the hoof' and at a time of crisis. Support to staff who have been attacked has been patchy, and in some instances sadly lacking. The absence of agreed procedures for dealing with violent attacks can leave the staff concerned, feeling unsupported, anxious and stressed. Social work staff, in their turn, may have experienced feelings of guilt when they have been unable to prevent aggression or assault; at best they may lack confidence in the level of understanding and support their line managers will show, and at worst they may feel that they will be blamed for the incident. As a result there is a tendency towards under reporting violent acts. For these reasons a joint approach to the problem is urged which involves social workers, support staff and managers. Personal Safety for Social Workers examines the special issues which social workers, and their employers, need to address. Part 1 reviews some of the information now available about violence in social work settings and within the context of violence in society at large. The respective roles and responsibilities of employers and employees are discussed, and guidance offered on developing a workplace personal safety policy and on the steps which will need to be taken for effective implementation. Advice is given on developing procedures for reporting violent incidents and for providing after-care to staff who have been on the receiving end of violence. This section of the book also looks at the ways in which the design and management of the workplace can enhance personal safety and provides guidelines to social workers on the issues to consider when working away from the normal work base. Part 2 contains detailed personal safety guidelines for use by individual social workers in a variety of work situations. Part 3 addresses training issues and provides a number of sample training programmes. A Reference Section gives information about further reading, training materials and sources of further help, advice and information. The message of this book is that proper attention to risk can reduce both the incidence of aggression and its development into violent acts. Preventive action can have the dual effect of protecting staff, and also of providing quality services in a more sensitive way to social work clients.Trade Review’There is a profusion of good advice, with checklists frequently used. Readers will gain a good overall grasp of the issues involved in this increasingly important field, and an expanded set of ideas on how to keep themselves safe.’ Professional Social WorkTable of ContentsContents: Background: Violence at work; The risks in perspective; Violence against social workers; Defining violence and aggression; Employer and employee roles; Safety in the social work setting; Developing a policy; Implementing a policy; Reporting violent incidents; The workplace; Residential and day care settings; Away from the workplace; After-care.

  • Children: Noble Causes or Worthy Citizens?

    Taylor & Francis Ltd Children: Noble Causes or Worthy Citizens?

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisSince the International Year of the Child in 1979, advocacy for children has intensified. The Convention on the Rights of the Child has propelled this advocacy decisively into the midst of the political debate over human rights. Attempts to construct and support the theoretical and empirical underpinnings for a fresh approach to children and childhood are also intensifying. Nonetheless, policies targeted at children continue to suffer from pervasive theoretical weaknesses. This is persistently constraining appropriate action. This book argues that for both theoretical and practical reasons children need to be understood in their own right. It asks fundamental questions about the perceptions we have of children and childhood and about the ways these perceptions emerge to influence and shape our assumptions, preferences and choices concerning children. It tries to deepen understanding and interest by clarifying the theoretical, ethical and pragmatic reasons for transforming the political neglect of children into recognition and action. The book is divided into two parts. The first part examines cultural and social variations in perceptions concerning children and the second part draws conclusions from the analysis. It concludes by proposing practical lessons which may be learned from the debate about children.Trade Review’This is a compelling book which unravels and conceptualises the many contradictions in the children’s rights debate...It is a salvo in the ideological battle which will greatly appeal to the converted and provides us with, in Knutssen’s words, tools for a better understanding.’ Social Work Review ’This book is an articulate, engaging and purposeful blend of hard facts and even harder polemic.’ International Social WorkTable of ContentsContents: The Nature and the Location of the Debate: The many environments of the child; Different times, different children; Commonalities and variations in perceptions about children; The nature and the location of the debate; The debate in practice: the case of UNICEF; Learning From the Debate: the Need for Change: Tools for a better understanding; The need to rethink development; Recognizing the citizen child; Bibliography.

  • Countering Discrimination in Social Work

    Taylor & Francis Ltd Countering Discrimination in Social Work

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisDiscrimination? Isn't there enough talk about discrimination? Yes, indeed. That is why we have to begin countering discrimination. We need strategies that will make it inoperative or at least limit its scope. But first, we need to think how discrimination works and identify it where it works. It concerns far more than mere procedural hitches for which a few legal provisions will do. Countering Discrimination (Volume 1998 of International Perspectives in Social Work yearbook) brings papers that analyse mechanisms of social discrimination in a variety of such locations and bring proposals for counter-strategies. This is essential in social work if causes, rather than manifestations, of the problems it is concerned with are to be addressed. But it is also essential that everybody who opposes discrimination recognise its subtle and dispersed ways of operation in the human services, regardless of their own basic field of work. In this respect, the book will be useful to a very wide audience.Trade Review’As British society lurches between progress and backlash, this unfussy edition should be bought by every social work agency so that its best chapters can be available to practitioners and policy makers...well balanced and relevant to management and practice.’ Community Care ’...a valuable contribution to the theory and practice of countering discrimination.’ Social Work in Europe ’...useful for facilitating greater understanding of the discrimination of marginalized groups as well as suggesting ways for combating such practices...the book provides a helpful tool to social workers and social work students wishing to grapple with issues of power and ally themselves with the powerless.’ European Journal of Social Work ’Countering Discrimination in Social Work makes an important international contribution to the field of social work. Social work educators may wish to use this book as a required text in courses on human behaviour.’ International Social WorkTable of ContentsContents: Introduction; Poverty and deprivation; Globalization and gender relations in social work; Affirmative action: a counter to racial discrimination?; Social work and independent living; Facing our futures: discrimination in later life; Lesbians and gay men: social work and discrimination; Intellectual disability, oppression and difference; Strategies of empowerment: taking account of protests by people; Towards a theory of emancipatory practice.

    Book SynopsisYouth homelessness increased rapidly during the late 1980s and early 1990s, at a time when street homelessness in particular became increasingly associated in the popular mind with dangerousness and criminality.

  • Movement Integration: The Systemic Approach to

    Lotus Publishing Movement Integration: The Systemic Approach to

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisA paradigm-shifting, integrative approach to understanding body movement The ability to move with efficiency and agility has been an essential component to our evolution and survival as a species. It has enabled us to find food, fight threats, flee danger, and flourish both individually and collectively. Our body’s intricate network of bones, muscles, tissues, and organs moves with great complexity. While traditional anatomy has relied on a reductionist frame for understanding these mechanisms in isolation, the contributors to Movement Integration take a more systemic, integrative approach. Ensomatosy is a new paradigm for comprehending movement from the perspective of the body s entirety. The body's many systems are understood as synchronized both internally and externally. Drawing on expertise in physiotherapy, somatics, sports science, Rolfing, myofascial therapy, craniosacral therapy, Pilates, and yoga, the authors assert that a more comprehensive understanding of movement is key to restoring the body s natural ability to move fluidly and painlessly. With over 150 colour images, the Color Illustration Model provides a visual tool for understanding how joints interact with surrounding structures (rather than in isolation). This is an ideal book for physiotherapists, massage therapists, structural integrators, coaches, as well as yoga and Pilates instructors.

    Book SynopsisAn expert guide to the new health trend that is helping people around the world feel more energised and less stressed. Saved by the Siesta explains how siestas work and the remarkable role they can play in overcoming the destructive effects that a shortage of sleep can have on the brain and the body. A daytime nap fulfils all the same functions as a night’s sleep — it’s hormonal, purifying, curative, consolidating, and reinvigorating. It also helps us to combat sleepiness, pain, depression, weak immunity, stress, hypertension, excess weight, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. But to take advantage of all this we need to be aware of the siesta’s subtleties: its various types; the correct body position to adopt; the times that are conducive to sleeping; the most effective duration; the stages of sleep that heighten awareness, cognitive performance, memory, and creativity; and how to get to sleep quickly and wake up without feeling sleepy. Saved by the Siesta provides all this information, and more. It is a lucid and accessible synthesis of the science of sleep, and a practical guide to the benefits of napping.Trade Review‘A life-changing book by a top neurologist.’ * Daily Mail *‘A fascinating reminder that we all have free medicine at our fingertips.’ -- Chloe Gray * Stylist *‘Brice Faraut, a sleep specialist and neuroscientist, pleads for the nap: sleeping, he says, is a panacea, a miracle of nature that we too often neglect.’ * Le Figaro *‘According to the National Institute for Sleep and Vigilance, 31 per cent of French people sleep on average just over five-and-a-half hours a night during the week. The same is true everywhere: in Sweden, the United States, Mexico ... A nap therefore appears to be the lifeline. According to the author, it can heal severe fatigue, and fight drowsiness, pain, depression, immune weakness, stress, hypertension, obesity, or cardiovascular disease. And he provides proof of this by citing the extensive research carried out on the subject.’ * La Recherche *‘[A]n illuminating reflection on a health topic too often neglected: sleep debt … Always educational, supported by numerous studies and packed with practical advice, this book will help you heed your internal clock. The only thing left to do is put it into practice.’ * Page des Libraires *
