Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook of Social Work Theory
Book SynopsisThe Routledge Handbook of Social Work Theory provides an interdisciplinary and international introduction to social work theory. It presents an analytical review of the wide array of theoretical ideas that influence social work on a global scale. It sets the agenda for future trends within social work theory.Separated into four parts, this handbook examines important themes within the discourses on social work theory, as well as offering a critical evaluation of how theoretical ideas influence social work as a profession and in practice. It includes a diverse range of interdisciplinary topics, covering the aims and nature of social work, social work values and ethics, social work practice theories and the use of theory in different fields of practice. The contributors show how and why theory is so important to social work and analyze the impact these concepts have made on social intervention.Bringing together an international team of leading academics within the social work field and newer contributors close to practice, this handbook is essential reading for all those studying social work, as well as practitioners, policymakers and those involved in the associated fields of health and social care.Trade Review‘Bringing together high-profile international authors, this milestone book is a must-read for academics, social workers, policy makers, and anyone who wants an updated and deep knowledge of social work at a local and global level.’ - Annamaria Campanini, President, the International Association of Schools of Social Work, Professor in Social Work, Department of Sociology and Social Research, University Milano Bicocca, Italy‘Malcolm Payne and Emma Reith-Hall have edited a book that provides a unique and outstanding contribution to our understanding of social work theory. The book is broad in scope, contemporary, yet grounded in social work traditions of "ethics"; "theories of social work" and "social work practice". The contributors, experts in their field, from around the globe, bring diverse and creative views about the nature of social work theory and how theory can be realised through practice.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Engendering Violence Heterosexual Interpersonal
Book SynopsisBringing together unique international research from the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Europe, this book presents a detailed examination of the violence perpetrated by males and females within the context of childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Based on illuminating empirical studies it accurately locates the societal implications of violence against males and females as well as the legal, social and public responses to violence. Combining feminism and a related analysis of power, the book provides an introduction to the study of violence in general, and violence against males and females who know each other in particular. It outlines the major evolutionary, psychological, and sociological theories proposed to explain this social problem and the traditional methods of studying this topic. The book also examines child violence - in the playground, the classroom and the home; adolescent dating violence and adult violence, both male and female, within cohabitinTrade Review’This book provides an accessible overview of violence perpetrated by men and women on people they know. It provides a timely synthesis and critique of key feminist and power-focused debates on violence, using illustrative examples as well as rich ethnographic data. Undergraduate students with any interest in trying to conceptualize and understand violence will find many gems in this resonant text.’ Dr George Pavlich, Professor of Sociology, University of Alberta, Canada. ’Whether a student in the social sciences, or a professional in the social services, this book is essential reading for understanding the gendered nature of violence in personal relationships across the life span.’ Dr Sue Jackson, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand 'This book, while a 2002 publication, comes at a good time as we see major theoretical shifts in gender and interpersonal violence theories. Drawing from a number of post-structural and post-modern theories, this book adds to the discourse around there being an essential masculinity. It argues that behaviour is more likely to be configured by social, political and cultural discourses, rather than biology... I found this book a good read in relation to exploring at a more complex level the issues that present in the lives of the clients every day... The target audience is clearly an academic one and in that regard it stands up well to the rigor of academic scrutiny... This book does invite us to explore further many of the cornerstones of existing conceptualisation of heterosexual interpersonal violence.' Aotearoa New Zealand Social WorkTable of ContentsContents: Mapping the discourse of heterosexual interpersonal violence; Theoretical challenges to the study of heterosexual interpersonal violence; Learning the difference that gender makes; Heteronormativity and sexual coercion: adolescents practicing gender; Investing in masculinity: men who use interpersonal violence; Investing in difference: violent women and masculinity in disguise?; Engendering violence?; Bibliography; Index.
