A Genealogy of the Good and Critique of Hubris

A History of the Discourse on Social Welfare in the United States

Beschreibung

In the first postmodern, genealogical history of social work, this book identifies common practices of a particular era to inform the description of a cultural and philosophical framework that allows the reader to "step inside the shoes" of people from that era and understand the practices through their eyes. These insights are then utilized to promote moral reflection of current practices of social welfare and hopefully avoid moral lapses that may arise from our present biases of understanding.

Autor

Phillip Dybicz is Assistant Professor of Social Work at the University of North Alabama. He received his Ph.D. in 2006 at the University of Kansas, where he was fortunate to study under many of the key individuals who developed the strengths perspective. Bringing with him a keen appreciation of history, his exposure to postmodern thought led him to quickly embrace the works of Michael Foucault and to seek to emulate his genealogical method. His research has concentrated upon taking various postmodern concepts and thoroughly describing how they have been applied in social welfare to inform innovative approaches based in postmodern thought-such as the strengths perspective, narrative therapy, and solutions-focused therapy.
