Description
An attempt to provide a radical new assessment of the relevance of gender to social work with the aim of developing a genuinely woman-centred practice. By looking at what women social workers have in common with women clients and what divides them, the book aims to show what practical measures can be taken to build confidence, to reduce isolation, to further self awareness and to improve assessment, planning and practice both in the workplace and in the field. The book concludes with proposals for a non-sexist code of practice. Jalna Hanmer is author of "Radicals in Social Work".
