Considering the state of social work today, our publication's
messages are as relevant now as they were when the contributors
experienced its raw material first hand in the 70's, 80's
and 90's.
While critical of how people can become agents of state control,
co-opted by "the system", this small book tells of how professional
standards and ethical issues squared with service delivery.
It can be read as a number of short stories, accounts of
recent social history, notes on the practical application
of a philosophy; or a record of how it was possible to practise
social work at one time, and maybe to do so in the future.
This contribution to the literature of radical social work
has little theory. Rather, it consists of despatches from
the front line.
Authenticity and the tang of empiricism are in every section.
