Social Work

Voices from the Inside

Brian Sheldon, formerly Centre for Evidence-Based Social Services, Peninsula Medical School, Exeter, UK and Geraldine Macdonald, Queen’s University Belfast, UK

Viviene Cree, University of Edinburgh, UK and Ann Davis, University of Birmingham, UK

'This is a major work that provides a clear account of social work practice methods for all user groups, including the latest research evidence. It will be invaluable for any social worker wanting to provide more than vague 'support' to individuals and families in distress.'

– Dr Eileen Munro, Social Policy Department, London School of Economics, UK 'You'd expect these authors to be upfront and controversial and you will not be disappointed.

A refreshingly committed book which presents the complexity of social work in a lively and accessible manner. A real page-turner, written with conviction, wit and style; this book surveys social work with an intellectually justified optimism.' – Professor Mark Doel, Research Professor of Social Work, Sheffield Hallam University, UK A Textbook of Social Work provides a comprehensive discussion of social work practice and its evidence-base.

It strikes a balance between the need for social workers to understand the social, economic, cultural, psychological and interpersonal factors which give rise to clients’ problems, and the need for them to know how best to respond with practical measures.

Providing a comprehensive guide to conceptual and methodological issues in social work and containing plentiful case studies and examples, this book is an essential read for social work students, as well as a valuable resource for practitioners and academics.

Multidimensional Evidence-Based Practice

A Reader Edited by Sheila Barrett, Carol Komaromy, Martin Robb and Anita Rogers

Synthesizing Knowledge, Research, and Values Edited by Christopher G. Petr, Kansas University ‘In this important book Dr Petr and his contributors demonstrate how the multidimensional evidence-based approach can be applied in a range of human services contexts. This volume represents a significant contribution to international scholarship in the field of evidence-based social work practice.’ – Nick Gould, Professor of Social Work, University of Bath, UK Multidimensional Evidence Based Practice (MEBP) is a new and comprehensive approach to determining best practices in social services.

MEBP improves upon traditional evidence-based approaches by incorporating the views of consumers and professionals, qualitative research and values. The book begins with a review of the context of best practice enquiry and goes on to present the seven steps of the MEBP model, discussing each step in detail. The model is appraised and explains how questions are formed, how varioforms of knowledge and evidence are summarized and evaluated, and how values are used to both critique current best practices and point towards needed improvements. The final seven chapters illustrate the MEBP process at work specific to a range of topics including best practices in the prevention of child abuse and best practices in restorative justice.

This book will be of interest to social workers and other professionals involved in the delivery of human services. It is also suitable for students and researchers of evidence-based practice.

Going Local Working in Communities and Neighbourhoods John Pierson, University of Staffordshire, UK

SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE

Psychoanalytic Theory for Social Work Practice

Hospital Social Work

Thinking Under Fire

Joan Beder, Yeshiva University

Edited by Marion Bower

’What is captivating about this book is that it is so easy to read and practical in its application. It is one of the first dedicated to this growing area of specialization that clearly gives hospital social work and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration its due. With enthusiastic optimism and passion, the author provides the reader with an awareness of the key issues and concerns that surround this journey, while also providing the practice tools needed for new and seasoned medical social workers to maintain and cultivate their place at the table in this competitive, interdisciplinary field of practice.’ – Sophia F. Dziegielewski, School of Social Work, University of Cincinnati, USA

’This highly original and very welcome book is the first text written for over 20 years that seeks to introduce the theory and practice of psychoanalytic thinking to social workers... I hope that it will be widely used by social work educators and that it finds its way onto the reading list of trainee counsellors and psychotherapists.’

– Ruth Jordan, Journal of Social Work Practice Written by practising social workers and social work educators, this text analyzes psychoanalytic and psychosocial approaches to social work and relates them to current practices and values.

The Interface of Medicine and Caring

Hospital Social Work introduces the reader to the world of medicine and social work as seen through the eyes of actual social workers. An essential reference for both students and professionals.

Over 100 social workers in dozens of hospitals were interviewed to provide the reader with first-hand experiences and discussions of practice principles, policy considerations, and theoretical treatments to provide each chapter with a unique blend of theory and practice.

Joan Beder, a professor of social work and a practicing social worker, recently noted an apparent lack of empirical discussion of the actual role and day-to-day functioning of the medical social worker. Hospital Social Work is the result, a unique supplemental text for both studying and practicing medical social workers.

Key discussions on issues relating to young people and their sexual activities are brought together in one volume, exploring how these issues are affected by the wider contexts in which they live.

Sonia Corrêa, Associação Brasileira Interdisciplinar de AIDS (ABIA), Brazil, Rosalind Petchesky, City University of New York and Richard Parker, Columbia University This new work surveys how rapid changes taking place at the start of the twenty-first century in social, cultural, political and economic domains impact on sexuality, health and human rights. The relationships between men, women and children are changing quickly, as are traditional family structures and gender norms.

Dying to be Men Youth, Masculinity and Social Exclusion Gary T. Barker One of the first comparative reflections of its kind, this book examines the challenges that young men face when trying to grow up in societies where violence is the norm.

Barker, who has worked directly with low-income youth and witnessed first hand the violence he describes, provides a compelling account of the young men’s struggles. He discusses the problems these men face in other areas of their lives, including the difficulty of staying in school, the multiple challenges of coming of age as men in the face of social exclusion, including finding meaningful employment, and their interactions with young women, including sexual behaviour and the implications of this for HIV/AIDS prevention.

International Perspectives

Culture, Society and Sexuality

Edited by Peter Aggleton, Andrew Ball and Purnima Mane

A Reader

’The book busts some myths and provides timely reinforcement of truths that world governments would rather avoid. It offers some ways forward, and reminds those of who are too ready to sideline young people that they are fellow citizens.’ – The Times Educational Supplement ’A useful starting point to locate evidence and research on a whole range of health issues and themes.’ – Youth and Policy Sexual practices and drug use among the young are examined in this book, calling into question mainstream assumptions about ‘adolescence’.

Bringing together a range of cross-cultural and cross-national contributions, the book reveals both similarities and important differences that mark sexuality and drug use among young in different social and cultural settings.

In doing so, it allows the reader to build up a clearer understanding of the challenges that must be faced in public health and education if we are to develop programs and interventions that really serve the needs of young people.

Edited by Richard Parker, Columbia University and Peter Aggleton, Institute of Education, University of London, UK This new and revised edition of Culture, Society and Sexuality brings together and makes accessible a broad and international selection of readings to provide insights into the social, cultural, political and economic dimensions of sexuality and relationships, and emerging discourses around sexual and reproductive rights.

Clearly structured and presented, the book makes an extremely useful reference for students and researchers. Section one focuses on the social and cultural construction of sexuality as an emerging field of inquiry over the course of recent decades, and examines some of the most important theoretical insights and areas of investigation that have emerged as this field has developed. Section two links research on the construction of sexuality to a growing body of work on gender and sexuality in relation to a wide range of practical issues and contemporary social policy debates.

It is an essential reader not only for students and researchers in these areas, but also for activists, health workers and service providers, who daily confront practical and policy issues related to sexuality, sexual health and sexual rights.

The Emotional Experience of Adoption A Psychoanalytical Perspective Edited by Debbie Hindle, Scottish Institute of Human Relations, Scotland, UK and Graham Shulman, The Tavistock Clinic, UK ’An interesting, informative and enjoyable read, the volume conveys core psychoanalytic ideas relevant to adoption and insights into therapeutic processes in a very vivid and accessible fashion.’

– Professor Malcolm Hill, Glasgow School of Social Work, UK Adoption is an extremely complex and emotionally demanding process for all those involved. This book explores the emotional experience of adoption from a psychoanalytic perspective, and demonstrates how psychoanalytic understanding and treatment can contribute to thinking about and working with adopted children and their families.

Drawing on psychoanalytic, attachment and child development theory, and detailed in-depth clinical case discussion, The Emotional Experience of Adoption explores issues such as: • the emotional experience of children placed for adoption, and how this both shapes and is shaped by unconscio processes in the child’s inner world • how psychoanalytic child psychotherapy can help as a distinctive source of understanding and as a treatment for children who are either in the process of being adopted or already adopted • how such understanding can inform planning and decision making amongst professionals and carers.

It will be of interest and relevance to anyone involved at a personal level in the adoption process or professionals working in the fields of adoption, social work, child mental health, foster care and family support.

WORKING WITH CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

Providing Support to Young People A Guide to Interviewing in Helping Relationships Hazel L. Reid, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK and Alison J. Fielding, Canterbury Christ Church University, UK This is an invaluable guide to making the most of helping relationships. It concentrates on the practicalities and explores how to structure the help practitioners give to young people.

Including case studies, reflective exercises, and dialogue examples that illustrate the model and use of skills, chapters cover: • the context for youth support services and what ’professional helping’ and youth support roles involve • the practical development of the helping skills and strategies required by a practitioner • concepts from variocounselling models that have particular relevance for helping young people and discussing ’hard to reach’ young people • the stages of Egan’s skilled helper model in some depth, applying it particularly to youth support work.

Describing an accessible ’how-to’ approach to engaging with young people, this book will be essential reading to all those working in information, advice, guidance and youth support settings, whether giving first-in-line or intensive support to young people.

Relationships and Resources Series Marginalised Mothers Exploring Working Class Experiences of Parenting Val Gillies, London South Bank University, UK Successive moral panics have cast poor or socially excluded mothers - associated with social problems as diverse as crime, underachievement, unemployment and mental illness - as bad mothers. Their mothering practices are held up as the antithesis of good parenting and are associated with poor outcomes for children.

Marginalised Mothers provides a detailed and much-needed insight into the lived experience of mothers who are frequently the focof public concern and intervention, yet all too often have their voices and experiences overlooked. The book explores how they make sense of their lives with their children and families, position themselves within a context of inequality and vulnerability, and resist, subvert and survive material and social marginalisation.

This controversial text uses qualitative data from a selection of working class mothers to highlight the opportunities and choices they face and to expose the middle class assumptions that ground much contemporary family policy. It will be of interest to students and researchers in sociology, social work and social policy, as well as social workers and policymakers.

Rosalind Edwards, Lucy Hadfield, Helen Lucey and Melanie Mauthner, all at The Open University, UK

Sophia Bowlby, University of Reading, UK, Susan Gregory, University of Edinburgh, UK and Linda McKie, Glasgow Caledonian University, UK Care work is increasingly high profile, both politically and socially, and current debates on the subject frequently highlight the growing tensions between providing care and economic participation. Care and Interdependency across the Lifecourse focuses on the ’informal care’ provided by family members, neighbours and friends, exploring the ways in which it is woven into the organization of people’s everyday lives.

This volume is comprised of three parts. The first covers the context of care in contemporary society, and what it encompasses. The second part looks at different themes within informal care, using the examples of illness and health, child care, elderly care and communities of care.

Finally, the authors develop a framework within which we can examine the significance to practices of care throughout the lifecourse of: • understandings and expectations of care • emotional exchanges involved in care • memories and anticipations of giving and receiving care • the social nature of the spaces and places in which care is carried out • the practical time-space scheduling necessary to caring activities.

This book is an invaluable contribution to the care work debate and will be of interest to students and researchers of care work, sociology of the family and social policy.

Selected Contents: Part 1: Introducing Care 1. What is Care?

2. Conceptualising Care Part 2: Caring in Practice 3. Learning to Care 4. Caring in Old Age 5. Illness (and Health) across the Lifecourse 6. Caring ‘Communities’ 7.

Sibling Identity and Relationships explores the special place that siblings occupy in the lives of children and young people, providing new insights into sibling identity and relationships. Drawing on social constructionist and psychodynamic perspectives, it discusses who constitutes a sibling, emotional connections and separations, conflict and aggression and how siblings construct and conduct their relationship out of the home, at school and in local communities.

Shedding light on broader debates about social and psychic divisions in wider society, this book explores the ways that siblings are important for children and young people’s social and emotional sense of self in relation to others. Reviewing current literature on sibling relationships as well as proposing alternative theoretical perspectives, Sibling Identity and Relationships will be a valuable resource to academics and students of childhood studies and social work as well as health and social care professionals.

Edited by Brian D. Loader, University of York, UK, Michael Hardey, Hull York Medical School, UK and Leigh Keeble, University of York, UK

Recent years have seen a concern with how family and community relationships have changed across the generations, whether for better or worse, and particularly how they have been affected by social and economic developments. But how can we think about and research the nature of the present in relation to the past and vice versa?

Researching Families and Communities: Social and Generational Change explores the concepts and perspectives that guide research and the methods used to explore change during the last half of the twentieth century and into the new millennium. It highlights the complexities of continuities alongside change, the importance of the perspectives that shape investigation, and the need to engage with situated data. This edited text includes contributions from experts in their field who: • address these overarching trends • explore the possibilities and practice of secondary analysis or replication studies, as well as longitudinal large scale data sets • discuss varied aspects of family and community life, including sexuality, ethnicity, parenting resources, older people, intergenerational family life, solo living and many others.

This book will appeal to academics and students interested in family and community across a range of social science disciplines, and to those in the social research field.

More and more of are living for longer – better health care and higher standards of living mean that the number of older people will increase greatly over the next few decades.

The drive to enable older people to continue living independently as long as possible is one response to this unprecedented population shift, as older people’s voices get louder and as resources show the strain.

This move represents a significant challenge to professionals, managers and users alike and new information and communications technologies (ICTs) have been identified as key allies. ICTs can improve integration between health and social care service providers and help to make health and social services person-centred. This important book critically investigates the potential contribution of health and social informatics applications for the modernisation of services for older people.

Digital Welfare for the Third Age is an essential book for all those with an interest in working together to enable older people to remain at home, whether they are practitioners, policymakers or academics.

Love and Loss

When Parents Die

The Roots of Grief and its Complications

Learning to Live with the Loss of a Parent

Colin Murray Parkes

Rebecca Abrams Foreword by Dr. Dora Black When Parents Die has already established itself as an indispensable aid both to the bereaved seeking some understanding of their loss and to the many professionals who work with them. This new edition takes into account new research and theories and considers in more depth: • the continuing importance of the dead parent in ones life • the critical role played by the surviving parent • the experiences of younger children • the impact of divorce and adoption.

Retaining its clear, direct and sympathetic style, this text will continue to appeal to the bereaved, their friends and family, counsellors, social workers, doctors, nurses and teachers.

’Parkes, whose seminal Love and Loss: The Roots of Grief and its Complications (2006) manages to be both academic and written in prose that dances with love around the subject.’ – Bel Mooney, The Times ’... an essential reference for all practitioners working directly with bereavement and grief.’

– Colin Feltham, Therapy Today Loving and grieving are two sides of the same coin: we cannot have one without risking the other. Only by understanding the nature and pattern of loving can we begin to understand the problems of grieving.

Conversely, the loss of a loved person can teach much about the nature of love.

Love and Loss, the result of a lifetime’s work, has important implications for the study of attachment and bereavement.

In this volume, Colin Murray Parkes reports his innovative research that enables to bring together knowledge of childhood attachments and problems of bereavement, resulting in a new way of thinking about love, bereavement and other losses. Areas covered include: • patterns of attachment and grief • loss of a parent, child or spouse in adult life • social isolation and support.

The book concludes by looking at disorders of attachment and considering bereavement in terms of its implications on love, loss, and change in a wider context.

Illuminating the structure and focof thinking about love and loss, this book sheds light on a wide range of psychological issues. It will be essential reading for professionals working with bereavement, as well as graduate students of psychology, psychiatry, and sociology.

Edited by Amanda Baker, Centre for Mental Health Studies, University of Newcastle, Australia and Richard Velleman, University of Bath, UK Co-existing mental health and drug and alcohol problems occur frequently in primary care and clinical settings. Despite this, health professionals rarely receive training in how to detect, assess and formulate interventions for co-existing problems and few clinical guidelines exist.

This Handbook provides an exciting and highly useful addition to this area. Leading clinicians from the UK, the and Australia provide practical descriptions of assessments and interventions for co-existing problems. These will enable professionals working with co-existing problems to understand best practice and ensure that people with coexisting problems receive optimal treatment. A range of overarching approaches are covered, including: • working within a cognitive behavioural framework; • provision of consultation-liaison services, training and supervision; • individual, group and family interventions; and • working with rurally isolated populations.

The contributors also provide detailed descriptions of assessments and treatments for a range of disorders when accompanied by drug and alcohol problems, including anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and learning difficulties.

The Clinical Handbook of Co-existing Mental Health and Drug and Alcohol Problems will enhance clinicians’ confidence in working with people with co-existing problems. It will prove a valuable resource for all psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors, social workers and all those working in both primary and secondary care health settings.

Bob Lonne, University of Queensland, Australia, Nigel Parton, University of Huddersfield, UK, Jane Thomson, James Cook University, Australia and Maria Harries, University of Western Australia Child protection is one of the most high profile and challenging areas of social work, as well as one where children’s lives and family life are seen to be at stake. Vital as child protection work is, this book argues that there is a pressing need for change in the understanding and consequent organization of child protection in many English speaking countries.

The authors present compelling evidence from around the globe demonstrating that systems across the Western world are failing children, families and social workers. They then set out a radical plan for reform: • Providing an overview of contemporary child protection policies and practices across the English speaking world • Presenting a clear and innovative theoretical framework for understanding the problems in the child protection system • Developing an alternative, ethical framework which locates child protection in the broader context of effective and comprehensive support for children, young people and families at the neighbourhood and community levels.

Grounded in the recent and contemporary literature, research and scholarly inquiry, this book capitalises on the experiences and voices of children, young people, families and workers who are the most significant stakeholders in child protection. It will be an essential read for those who work, research, teach or study in the area.

The Child in Mind

Young People and Sexual Exploitation

A Child Protection Handbook

Hard to Reach and Hard to Hear

Judy Barker, City and Hackney Primary Care Trust, UK and Deborah Hodes, Camden Primary Care Trust and University College London Hospital, UK ’This is a clearly written book with an accessible approach, which should be available to all practitioners.’ – Nursing Standard

Jenny Pearce, University of Bedfordshire, UK Sexually exploited young people can be difficult to work with as their life stories can be upsetting and hard to accept.

Here Jenny Pearce draws on young people’s voices and experiences to explore the difficulties that arise for researchers and practitioners when working with sexually exploited young people.

All public sector workers in contact with children and families, both in health care and allied services, need access to clearly written information about what to do if they are concerned about the safety and welfare of a child. Ensuring the safety of children who are at risk of harm is not an easy undertaking. It is sometimes difficult to assess the significance of information about a child, to gauge its seriousness or decide what to do next. This handbook will help non-specialist workers negotiate the complexities of child protection practice, with the aim of preventing abuse and neglect and protecting children from further harm once it has occurred.

Selected Contents: 1. Introduction Part 1: Sexual Exploitation - Theoretical Frameworks 2. Theoretical Frameworks, Policy and Practice 3. Transitions to Adulthood: The Victim Child to the Adult Perpetrator 4. Researching the ‘Hard to Reach/Hard to Hear’ Young Person Part 2: Interventions: Practice Issues in Work with Sexually Exploited Young People 5. Preventing Risk, Supporting Resilience 6.

The text explains how the child protection process works. It covers all the key areas of child protection practice, including:

Integrating Directive and Nondirective Approaches

• risk assessment • physical, sexual and emotional abuse • neglect • the child protection conference • key changes in the legal framework and their application in practice.

Clarifying a complex area of work, The Child in Mind provides sound advice aimed at improving individual practice. It is unique in that although it is directed to all health and social care workers, it can be used as part of inservice training, as a handy reference for students and indeed by anyone who works with children.

Everyone working in health and social care is at one point or another confronted by violent behaviour and its consequences.

Addressing Violence, Abuse and Oppression provides a broad overview of violence in relation to a range of groups and areas that involve human service professionals.

Adopting an international perspective, this book looks at the ways in which violence, abuse and oppression can be clearly associated with power imbalances which are often gendered and which are covertly or overtly manifested at a range of levels including the interpersonal as well as the organizational and the political.

It explores debates and challenges with regard to theoretical orientations, policy frameworks and how power imbalances intersect with a range of influencing factors including gender, poverty, indigenous/ethnic issues, class and sexuality.

Examining the implications for human service professionals, each chapter of Addressing Violence, Abuse and Oppression provides an historical overview, explores theoretical perspectives, examines specific policy and practice context, appraises the contribution from research and assesses the impact for individuals and groups.

NEW FOR 2009

Paedophiles in our Communities Sarah Dalal Goode, University of Winchester, UK From ideas about ’stranger danger’, it has become increasingly evident to professionals working across health and social care services that children are usually sexually abused by family members or by other trusted people they know. Far from being a rare occurrence, sadly it is now estimated that as many as one in four women and one in six men are sexually abused before the age of eighteen. This groundbreaking book explores what can be done to stop this, making use of case studies and primary interview-data and seeking a new understanding of paedophilia in order to better prevent child sexual abuse.

Paedophiles in our Communities is divided into three sections.

The first section covers basic background information about paedophiles and child sexual abuse. It looks at historical context, contemporary concerns and cutting edge research, demonstrating the harm that sexual abuse does to children and outlining our current child protection precautions. The second section examines the paedophile perspective, looking at the arguments presented for adult-child sexual contact, the Internet revolution and the burgeoning civil rights movement.

The final section then puts forward suggestions for ways that we can really keep children safe.

Suitable for all professionals who work with children or sexual offenders, this book gives clear guidance on what one needs to know and do in order to ensure children are kept safe. It will also be of interest to students studying paedophilia and child sexual abuse with the areas of social work, social policy, criminology and sociology.

Series: Women and Psychology

Accounting for Rape presents an original perspective on the subject of rape and sexual violence by scrutinizing existing social psychological research on rape and, in particular, rape perception research.

’An elegantly written and practically useful text for students of gender and welfare in a variety of disciplines, as well as those on qualifying and post-qualifying programmes in social work, clinical psychology, psychiatry and nursing. Its conclusions and recommendations for ethical practice in the area of sexual abuse show considerable sagacity and are practical, pragmatic and compassionate.’

– Professor Sue White, Lancaster University Child sexual abuse is a global problem that negatively affects many women and girls. As such, it has long been of concern to feminists, and more recently mental health activists.

Understanding the Effects of Child Sexual Abuse draws on this revolutionary legacy, feminism and post-structuralism to critically examine current perceptions of women, girls and child sexual abuse in psychology, psychiatry and the mass media, and to re-evaluate mainstream and feminist approaches to this subject.

The book aims to contribute to the ongoing development of a knowledge-base for working with abused women and girls, and demonstrates the need to question the use of formulaic methods and calls for an explicit concern with politics, principles and ethics in the related areas of theory, research and practice.

Legal Responses to Domestic Violence Mandy Burton, University of Leicester, UK This book aims to examine legal responses to domestic violence in a holistic way. In England and Wales, as in other jurisdictions, much attention has been paid to the criminal justice response to domestic violence. The response of the civil justice system has not been ignored, but has been somewhat marginalized.

Legal Responses to Domestic Violence takes a systematic approach to examining legal responses, encompassing the full range of decision makers within the legal system to analyze developments in substantive law and practice, in particular the movement towards an integrated justice approach.

MENTAL HEALTH Tackling Mental Health Crises

Mental Health Social Work

David Kingdon, University of Southampton and Marie Finn, Moorgreen Hospital, Southampton

Evidence-Based Practice

27

Colin Pritchard, University of Southampton, UK

Tackling Mental Health Crises provides a practical guide to combining social and psychological responses to mental health problems.

David Kingdon and Marie Finn look at what constitutes a crisis, be it an individual crisis presentation or a situational crisis for services. They reject current diagnostic approaches to mental health, focussing instead on a symptom-led approach and keeping an awareness of the intervention experience for clients and carers throughout. Subjects covered include: • engaging and assessing the client • risk assessment and management • emotional, behavioural, cognitive and physical presentations • service teams and settings.

The emphasis throughout is on taking a holistic look at crisis prevention and management, encompassing both the work that takes place at an individual level and the wider impact of societal and political issues.

Containing clear direction and practical advice, combined with numerocase studies and commentary from users and carers themselves, this book will be of great use to anyone involved with dealing with mental health crises.

In Mental Health Social Work, Colin Pritchard draws on his many years of experience in research, teaching and practice in order to explore key issues for social workers who want to work in the mental health field.

Mental health social work can be one of the most rewarding and one of the most frustrating areas of social work practice. Social workers need to have a good knowledge of interventions and their evidence bases, from pharmacology to psychotherapy, but also be able to work sensitively and effectively with both clients and carers in a rapidly changing context.

Based on a series of case studies and research based practice, the book explores key topics including: • the multiple factors affecting mental health • the bio-psycho-social model of practice • key areas including depression, suicide, schizophrenia and personality disorder • the mental health‒child protection interface • treatment modalities.

Presenting new and challenging research findings in this field, this book will be invaluable reading for undergraduate social work students and for practising social workers.

MENTAL HEALTH

Mental Illness and the Body

TEXTBOOK

Beyond Diagnosis

Exercise, Health and Mental Health

Louise Phillips, City University, UK Using real life case studies of people experiencing mental illness, this book identifies how bodily presentation of patients may reflect certain aspects of their ‘lived experience’.

With reference to a range of theoretical perspectives including philosophy, psychoanalysis, feminism and sociology, Mental Illness and the Body explores the ways in which understanding ‘lived experience’ may usefully be applied to mental health practice. Key features include: • an overview of the history of British psychiatry including treatments • an analysis of feminism and the way its insights have been applied to understanding women’s mental health and illness • in-depth interviews with four patients diagnosed with mental illness

Emerging Relationships Edited by Guy E.J. Faulkner and Adrian H. Taylor ’It’s gratifying to see interest in these important areas mature, and it’s about time that someone accumulated the evidence in a way that can help guide practitioners and researchers alike. Well done.’ – Rod K. Dishman, University of Georgia, USA ’It is the emerging relationships which characterise this book. The editors’ decision to break new ground is richly rewarded.’ – The Sport and Exercise Scientist ’... moves our knowledge beyond just a broad and superficial understanding. The editors have clearly affirmed the role that physical activity ... can play in enhancing individual and societal well being.’ – Sport & Exercise Psychology Review ‘Students will find this book stimulating in terms of developing research ideas and as a model for presenting data.’ – Liz Cort, Nurse Researcher, Nursing Standard

• an outline of Freudian and post-Freudian perspectives on the body and their relevance to current mental health practice.

The first of its kind, this book is written by internationally acclaimed scientists and presents an introduction to the emerging field of exercise as a strategy for mental health promotion, providing a platform for future research and practice.

Mental Illness and the Body is essential reading for mental health practitioners, allied professionals and anyone with an interest in the body and mental illness.

Mental Health Issues and the Media An Introduction for Health Professionals Gary Morris, Leeds University, UK Mental Health Issues and the Media provides students and professionals in nursing and allied professions, in psychiatry, psychology and related disciplines, with a theoretically grounded introduction to the ways in which our attitudes are shaped by the media.

A wide range of contemporary media help to create attitudes surrounding mental health and illness, and for all health professionals, the ways in which they do so are of immediate concern. Health professionals need to: • be aware of media influences on their own perceptions and attitudes • take account of both the negative and positive aspects of media intervention in mental health promotion and public education • understand the way in which we all interact with media messages and how this affects both practitioners and service users.

Covering the press, literature, film, television and the Internet, this comprehensive text includes practical advice and recommendations on how to combat negative images for service users, healthcare workers and media personnel.

Michael Fitzpatrick, Barton House Health Centre, UK In August 2005, a five-year old British boy with autism died while undergoing chelation therapy in the USA. Chelation is one of a range of ‘biomedical’ treatments based on the theory that autism is caused by environmental toxins, such as mercury, derived from vaccines or other sources. Virtually no scientific authority accepts either that such toxins cause autism or claims that biomedical treatments are effective but biomedical theories of autism can offer a plausible explanation of the supposed ‘autism epidemic’. So, do they work and are they safe?

Here Dr. Fitzpatrick, himself the father of an autistic boy, investigates the evidence around a number of supposed causes (toxins, leaky gut and immunity/allergy theories), diagnostic tests (such as looking for measles in the gut) and treatments (diets, hormonal therapies and chelation among others). He concludes that the scientific evidence for biomedical treatments is alarmingly shaky and argues that the way forward lies through the acceptance of our children as they are and in the quest to improve the quality of their lives – a quest in which biomedical treatments are at best a distraction and at worst a danger.

This compelling book is essential reading for students and professionals in the world of autism as well as academics concerned with the public understanding of science and the treatment of scientific and medical controversies in the media.

DISABILITY

Disability Rights and Wrongs

NEW

Tom Shakespeare, Newcastle University, UK

Disabled People and the Right to Life

’Tom Shakespeare has produced a work of mature scholarship that advances our thinking about the fundamental issues in Disability Studies. The clarity and balance of his argument challenges others to raise the level of discourse in the field. Disability Rights and Wrongs is a must read.’ – Gary L. Albrecht, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA 'Galileo was roundly condemned for daring to question the orthodoxy of the day, even though he was right. Tom Shakespeare also challenges orthodoxy concerning disability theory and studies.

No cow is sacred and as a result this book will be controversial. But his arguments demand consideration and deep thought. If you read only one book on disability rights this year, make this the book.' – Bert Massie, Disability Rights Commission, UK Over the last thirty years, the field of disability studies has emerged from the political activism of disabled people. In this challenging review of the field, leading disability academic and activist Tom Shakespeare argues that the social model theory has reached a dead end.

The Protection and Violation of Disabled People’s Most Basic Human Rights Edited by Luke Clements, Cardiff University, UK and Janet Read, University of Warwick, UK The most basic of human rights, the right to life, is the focof this book. ’Human rights’ has increasingly come to be seen as a significant framework, both to aid understanding of the experiences of those who face oppression, and to underpin social, legal and political measures to counter it. Disabled People and the Right to Life uses this framework to explore how disabled people’s right to life is understood in different national contexts and the ways in which they are – or are not – afforded protection under the law, emphasizing the social, cultural and historical forces and circumstances which have promoted disabled people’s right to life or legitimated its violation.

Drawing on a critical realist perspective, Shakespeare promotes a pluralist, engaged and nuanced approach to disability. Key topics discussed include:

Written by an international panel of contributors including individuals holding public office, academics from the fields of law, social policy, disability studies and bioethics as well as practitioners and activists attempting to further disabled people’s human rights, this truly interdisciplinary book will be of interest to students and researchers of disability, law, social policy and human rights.

• identity - the drawbacks of the disability movement’s emphasis on identity politics • bioethics in disability - choices at the beginning and end of life and in the field of genetic and stem cell therapies • care and social relationships - questions of intimacy and friendship.

Lessons in Leadership

Arguing about Disability

Meeting the Challenges of Public Service Management

Philosophical Perspectives

Eileen Milner and Paul Joyce

Edited by Kristjana Kristiansen, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway, Simo Vehmas, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland and Tom Shakespeare, Newcastle University, UK Disability is a thorny and muddled concept - especially in the field of disability studies - and social accounts contest with more traditional biologically based approaches in highly politicized debates. Sustained theoretical scrutiny has sometimes been lost amongst the controversy and philosophical issues have often been overlooked in favour of the sociological. Arguing about Disability fills that gap by offering analysis and debate concerning the moral nature of institutions, policy and practice, and their significance for disabled people and society.

John Lawler, Bradford University, UK and Andy Bilson, University of Central Lancashire, UK Management and leadership are increasingly important within the organisation and delivery of social care services and now form part of the post qualification framework for social workers. Yet, whilst there is a relatively broad understanding of management concepts and their application in social care, students and managers are often encouraged to not challenge the statquo. Furthermore, leadership is open to a wide range of interpretations and is often ill-defined with the expectation that we share a common understanding of the term.

This text promotes an appreciation of the development of management and leadership thinking and the different themes which inform current ideas on those topics. It considers these topics from other theoretical standpoints in order to stimulate readers to consider their own experience and expectations of management and leadership. It then demonstrates ways in which these standpoints might be used to analyse the work, management and leadership within social care organisations and ways in which such organisations might then develop, encouraging reflection on current practice.

This text is essential reading for students of management and leadership in social care as well as being an invaluable resource for managers who simply wish to reflect on their practice.

Intimate Fatherhood

The Social Construction of Life Course

A Sociological Analysis

Jason Powell, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK Written by a well-known academic, this book provides a much-needed analysis of the baby boom generation, and looks at the changing attitudes to and policies in education, work and pensions/retirement.

Esther Dermott, University of Bristol, UK Fatherhood is gaining ever more public and political attention, stimulated by the increasing prominence of fathers’ rights groups and the introduction of social policies, such as paternity leave.

Intimate Fatherhood explores discourses of contemporary fatherhood, men’s parenting behaviour and debates about fathers’ rights and responsibilities.

The book addresses the extent to which fatherhood has changed by examining key dichotomies - culture versconduct, involved versuninvolved and public versprivate. The book also looks at longstanding conundrums such as the apparent discrepancy between fathers’ acceptance of long hours spent in paid work combined with a preference for involved fathering. Dermott maintains that our current view of good fatherhood is related to new ideas of intimacy. She argues that in order to understand contemporary fatherhood, we must recognise the centrality of the emotional father-child relationship, that the importance of breadwinning has been overstated and that flexible involvement is viewed as more important than the amount of time spent in childcare.

Drawing on original qualitative interviews and large-scale quantitative research, Intimate Fatherhood presents a sociological analysis of contemporary fatherhood in Britain by exploring our ideas of good fatherhood in relation to time use, finance, emotion, motherhood and policy debates. This book will interest students, academics and researchers in sociology, gender studies and social policy.

With the baby boom generation born in the 1950s now entering retirement and a third phase of social welfare interventions (pensions), the baby boomers are now attracting some academic and policy attention.

Following this generation through each of the stages of the life course, this book provides an illuminating case study of childhood, adulthood and old age.

Correlating how life stages are constructed in tandem with changes in the constructions of social policy, this book innovatively provides an engaging approach to the study of social welfare and social policy.

Edited by Jonathan Gabe, David Kelleher and Gareth Williams This highly topical and controversial book presents a lively re-appraisal of the current changes to the health service and analyzes their effects on the statand practice of health professionals.

Modern medicine is a powerful institution. With the help of highly-developed drugs and surgical techniques, it promises to relieve suffering, improve the quality of life and extend the life-span. Conversely, it is expensive for the governments, insurance companies and individuals who pay for it and sometimes appears to be insensitive to the needs of those for whom it provides. And while recent restructuring of healthcare delivery services has provided medical practitioners with new challenges, there has been very little consideration of the range of pressures that they now face.

Edited and written by experienced medical sociologists, this book draws together analysis of a number of diverse challenges to medicine, and provides original debate on the challenges posed from within medicine from nurses and managers and alternative practitioners, and from outside by self-help groups, the women’s movement and the media.

HEALTH POLICY Health, Risk and Vulnerability Edited by Alan Petersen, Monash University, Australia and Iain Wilkinson, University of Kent, UK The concept of risk is one of the most suggestive terms for evoking the cultural character of our times and for defining the purpose of social research. Risk attitudes and behaviours are understood to comprise the dominant experience of culture, politics and society in our times.

Health, Risk and Vulnerability investigates the personal and political dimensions of health risk that structure everyday thought and action. In this innovative book, international contributors reflect upon the meaning and significance of risk across a broad range of social and institutional contexts, exploring current issues such as: • the ’escalation of the medicalization of life’, involving the pathologization of normality and blurring of the divide between clinical and preventive medicine • the tendency for mental health service users to be regarded as representing a risk to others rather than being ’at risk’ and vulnerable themselves • the development of health care systems to identify risk and prevent harm • women’s reactions to ’high risk’ screening results during pregnancy and how they communicate with other women about risk • men and the use the internet to reconstruct their social and sexual identities.

Charting new terrain in the sociology of health and risk, and focusing on the connections between them, Health, Risk and Vulnerability offers new perspectives on an important field of contemporary debate and provides an invaluable resource for students, teachers, researchers, and policy makers.

Community Care, Risk and the Shifting Focof Danger and Vulnerability in Mental Health 4. Governmentality and the Subpolitics of Teenage Sexual Risk Behaviour 5.

Biosocialities, Genetics and the Social Sciences Making Biologies and Identities Edited by Sahra Gibbon, University College London, UK and Carlos Novas, London School of Economics, UK Biosocialities, Genetics and the Social Sciences explores the social, cultural and economic transformations that result from innovations in genomic knowledge and technology.

This pioneering collection uses Paul Rabinow’s concept of biosociality to chart the shifts in social relations and ideas about nature, biology and identity brought about by developments in biomedicine.

Based on new empirical research, it contains chapters on genomic research into embryonic stem cell therapy, breast cancer, autism, Parkinson’s and IVF treatment, as well as on the expectations and education surrounding genomic research.

Including an afterword by Paul Rabinow and case studies on the UK, US, Canada, Germany, India and Israel, this book is key reading for students and researchers of the new genetics and the social sciences – particularly medical sociologists, medical anthropologists and those involved with science and technology studies.

HEALTH POLICY

Intention and Causation in Medical Non-Killing The Impact of Criminal Law Concepts on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide Glenys Williams, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK Series: Biomedical Law & Ethics Library Analyzing the criminal concepts of intention and causation in euthanasia, this book explores a range of disciplines and offers an alternative legal framework based on grading different categories of killing into a formalized justificatory defence.

FORTHCOMING

Beyond E-Government Brian D. Loader, University of York, UK The introduction of e-government has been firmly placed on the policy agenda of governments throughout the world and its delivery is viewed as both desirable for modernizing public administration and necessary for stimulating participation in a new information age.

Selected Contents: The Concept of Intention. The Principle of Double Effect. Acts and Omissions. Causation. Is a Patient who Refuses Treatment Committing Suicide? Does a Doctor who Withdraws Treatment Assist in a Patient’s Suicide? Reforms and the Future 2006: 234x156: 248pp Hb: 978-1-84472-027-9: $180.00 Pb: 978-0-415-42302-1: $55.95

However, Brian Loader argues that the e-government policy drive masks an uncritical acceptance of the commercialization of politics and the weakening of democratic governance. The book examines how egovernment adoption is not undertaken in a value neutral vacuum but rather according to the ideological principles of market liberalization. Loader investigates how such an approach has significant consequences for the nature of democratic governance and should therefore be subject to far more critical scrutiny than is currently the case.

Health, Risk and Ethics in a Biotech Era Edited by Robin Bunton and Alan Petersen Ethical and practical issues around genetic research are of major international concern, both in academia and in the public domain.

Questions concerning what interventions are possible and appropriate with the increasing amount of genetic information available, challenge our understandings of ourselves, our health and wellbeing, and the role of medical ethics, public health, surveillance and risk. However there has been little reflection on the socio-political effects of this new genetic knowledge and the changes in practice that are currently impacting on our lives.

Containing contributions from key international researchers, this book examines the broader issues of genetic debates and looks at how prediction and risk assessment is being changed in the arenas of health, medicine and reproduction, bringing new insight on the dangers of surveillance, regulation and increased inequality. Developed out of the Taylor and Francis journal Critical Public Health, the book considers the implications of developments in genetics for contemporary liberal governance, as well as for the future of healthcare and public health.

What are the implications of this medicalization of cyberspace for how people make sense of health and identity?

The Medicalization of Cyberspace is the first book to explore the relationship between digital culture and medical sociology. It examines how technology is redefining expectations of and relationships with medical culture, addressing the following questions: • How will the rise of digital communities affect traditional notions of medical expertise?

• What will the medicalization of cyberspace mean in a new era of posthuman enhancements?

• How should we regard hype and exaggeration about science in the media and how can this encourage public engagement with bioethics?

This book looks at the complex interactions between health, medicalization, cyberculture, the body and identity. It addresses topical issues, such as medical governance, reproductive rights, eating disorders, Web 2.0, and perspectives on posthumanism.
