Summary

Diana Düring and Nicole Harth present a very readable, well-structured and therefore very accessible introductory volume. It not only asserts the importance of emotions in social work, but also offers, firstly, conceptual and theoretical background (chapters one to three) and, secondly, takes a closer look at some emotions as examples (chapters four to nine). The result is a volume that provides readers with an informative introduction to the topic and is also suitable for teaching at universities and universities of applied sciences, as well as a reflection aid for professionals. The text also provides a sound basis for further elaborations on methodological action in "social work with emotions".
