messy social work richard devine

Social work is a complex career - a hugely rewarding way to make a difference in people s lives, paired with an enormous responsibility to get it right. This (unofficial) guide, grounded in the author s decade-long experience on the front line of child protection, explores the intersection between these points and how to handle the challenges of the job while celebrating its joys.This isn t a tidy list of textbook situations and perfect solutions - there are mistakes of all shapes and sizes, there are consequences, and (most importantly) there are reflections on what went wrong and how to not do the same thing in your own practice. Case studies and vignettes look into the realities of child protection from both perspectives, and what happens when what should happen doesn t match with what does.

Social workers spend their time trying to ease social suffering. They encounter the extreme casualties of social inequality: the victims of poverty, illness, addiction, and abuse; they work with abusers and offenders; and operate in the space between the State and the poor or marginalized. Social work is replete with vivid human stories: the troubled teenage boy who cannot settle in a foster home; the frail older woman who is desperate for social contact; the community seeking a way to tackle gang violence; the sex offender leaving prison; and the disputed territory of international adoption. Social work therefore holds a fundamental importance throughout the modern world.In this Very Short Introduction, Sally Holland and Jonathan Scourfield explain what social work is and look at its rich historical development. Reflecting international human stories of social problems and social work relationships, as well as the philosophies behind the practice and the evidence about what works throughout the world, they look at the various definitions, history, and debates about purpose and effectiveness, theory, and methods. Including wide ranging examples of social work practice around the world and within particular population groups, they reflect the international variation of social work theory and practice, as well as highlighting all of the main controversies and debates.ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area.

How can mainstream Western social work learn from and in turn help advance indigenous practice? This volume brings together prominent international scholars involved in both Western and indigenous social work across the globe - including James Midgley, Linda Briskman, Alean Al-Krenawi and John R. Graham - to discuss some of the most significant global trends and issues relating to indigenous and cross-cultural social work. The contributors identify ways in which indigenization is shaping professional social work practice and education, and examine how social work can better address diversity in international exchanges and cross-cultural issues within and between countries. Key theoretical, methodological and service issues and challenges in the indigenization of social work are reviewed, including the way in which adaptation can lead to more effective practices within indigenous communities and emerging economies, and how adaptation can provide greater insight into cross-cultural understanding and practice.

Kniha představuje urbanistické a architektonické osudy historického centra Prahy v období, kdy se měnilo z malebného historického souměstí v ambiciózní velkoměsto. Téma otevírají první romantické zásahy, které městu daly nábřeží a promenády. V poměrně dramatickém protikladu následuje období radikální asanace, která znamenala demolici celých čtvrtí domů a vyvolala neméně radikální reakci ochránců staré Prahy . Samostatnou kapitolu představuje doba pozoruhodných meziválečných proměn města v metropoli nového státu, stejně jako temné protektorátní období megalomanských urbanistických plánů. S poválečnou euforií přicházejí nejen nové představy a sny, ale také brzký nástup komunistické totality, jejíž urbanistické vize jako by přímo navazovaly na protektorátní projekty. Finále knihy pak tvoří období let 1958-1970, které přineslo nejen návrat modernismu, ale také zásadní diskuse, jakou roli má vlastně historické centrum v organismu moderního města hrát. Překotné formování metropole otřáslo téměř vším, co staleté město do té doby představovalo. Práce proto sleduje nejen zrod a prosazení nových idejí, ale také čím dál silnější vědomí památkové hodnoty města, které v roce 1971 vyvrcholí jeho prohlášením za Pražskou památkovou rezervaci. Bylo-li to možné, dostávají v textu slovo přímo aktéři jednotlivých diskusí a ideových bojů. Jejich prostřednictvím lze nejlépe pochopit nejen dobové postoje a dilemata, ale také hlubokou vnitřní kontinuitu, která se s odstupem let ukazuje jako mnohem významnější, než by se z klipovitého střídání architektonických stylů i politických režimů mohlo na první pohled zdát.

Despite its huge public profile, surprisingly little is known about child protection work. Discussion focuses on failures that result in children dying, or on what social workers cannot do, due to bureaucratic pressures and limited time. This book examines in detail how social workers can use the time they do have to relate to children and families, make child protection work and create meaningful change. Featuring:â ¢ Detailed examination of real-world child protection work and family experiences based on original research;â ¢ A new vocabulary for understanding and improving social work and relationship-based practice;â ¢ New insights into how to provide effective staff support and supervision;â ¢ Original integration of psychoanalytic and sociological perspectives; and â ¢ Practical tools for navigating challenges such as working with infants and managing hostile relationships. Sure to become a classic social work text, this book explores how helpful relationships are made and sustained, and how they can be made better. It provides a new â ˜forward-facingâ ™ approach, with practical and theoretical insights into how, and under what organisational conditions, relationship-based practice and child protection can be made to work.

Rozprávanie Jána Roznera, založené na zážitkoch z niekoľkých návštev hradu Devín. Spočiatku to boli výlety loďou s matkou a bratom kvôli zdravotným problémom. Potom sa tam dostal v dramatických rokoch nástupu fašizmu, keď sa bratislavskí Nemci schádzali na Devíne na politických manifestáciách. Napokon v povojnovom období, keď sa na Devíne konali všeslovanské slávnosti s patričnými politickými prejavmi a vystúpeniami sovietskych súborov. Devín bol pre Roznera symbol dejinných zvratov a politických manipulácií s ľudským vedomím pri radikálne sa meniacich režimoch. Tomu poslednému uveril aj on sám, kým sa nepresvedčil, že prax protirečí pôvodným ideám. Roznerove návraty do minulosti, na ktorú sa pozerá pohľadom účastníka a intelektuála, majú charakter autentického svedectva o dobe valcujúcej v jednotlivých vlnách ľudské osudy.
