Welfare & benefit systems; Social work

An up-to-date and thorough investigation of progressive social work theoryThis fully updated edition explores the shortcomings of welfare capitalism and reveals how conventional social work fails to respond to systemic social problems. By presenting a coherent theory of progressive social work with oppression as its focus, this text shows how students can incorporate a radical alternative to conventional social work within their own practice.

Reviews for The New Structural Social Work: Ideology, Theory, and Practice

A necessary and timely book that engages students in critical inquiry about Canadian and global economic and political systems, societies, governments, and the social work profession. --Susan Hillock, Trent University This is an excellent resource for theory and the application of principles of structural social work. The book clearly explains theory and then goes on to demonstrate how it can be applied in real-life practical contexts. --Anne Wagner, Nipissing University
