Summary
This volume fills a large gap in the very restrained discourse on the neoliberal appropriation of social work. It offers a well-founded analysis and critical reflection on the current state of affairs, reminds us of the profession's professional self-image and its theoretical foundation and calls for political action with concrete proposals. The book is particularly aimed at social work practitioners, which is ultimately also reflected in its excellent readability.
