Sociology for Social Workers

This new, updated version will help training and qualified social workers to make links between policy, practice and sociological theory and assist them to identify their role and contribution to challenging structural inequalities evident in society today.

This second edition is recommended as core reading for all social work students as it skilfully captures the central relevance of a sociological understanding to the whole social work curriculum. It also demonstrates via the use of carefully selected examples the location of social work as a profession within the social and political context. Never has such a text been more needed.
