内容説明

The author of this work asks, what is it about social work that generates so much controversy and criticism? The power that modern society has vested in professionals is not new or restricted to social work. The study, however, does not attempt to answer these big question of social workers' competence or mandate. The author's task is to explore how social workers make their actions and assessments in an atmosphere of criticism and controversy? What sort of language, explanation and analysis do social workers use in order to handle stressful situations and support their decision?
