Summary

This work can neither be classified as a scientific work in the classical sense nor as a subjective practical report from social work. However, the subjective statements, the space for personal narratives, the analytical, critical and clear treatment of the findings and experiences as well as the scope of the book close a gap for practice and training in social work. Because it is precisely this triangle of scientific and practical relevance and evaluative criticism that makes it clear how relevant social work actually is, how much commitment and competence it entails and how often our society and its structures - for whatever reason - ensure that the voices and needs of our clients are not or insufficiently perceived.
