Description
Ideologies and Social Work: Historical and Contemporary Analyses is a comprehensive examination of how various ideological frameworks have influenced and continue to influence social work practice and theory. The book traces the historical development of social work while analyzing the underlying ideologies that have guided the profession’s evolution.
Through historical and contemporary perspectives, the author explores how different political, economic, and social ideologies—including liberalism, conservatism, socialism, and feminism—have shaped social work’s approaches to client care, policy advocacy, and professional ethics. The work provides critical insights into how ideological commitments affect social workers’ understanding of social problems, their interventions, and their role in society.
This scholarly analysis is essential for social work educators, students, and practitioners seeking to understand the ideological underpinnings of their profession and how these frameworks continue to influence contemporary practice and policy debates.
