Book Description
Doing Anti-Oppressive Practice introduces students to the emerging tradition, the historical and theoretical roots and the specific contexts of anti-oppressive social work practice. AOP understands the problems faced by clients as rooted in the socio-political structure of society rather than in the personal characteristics of the clients themselves, and argues that social change must be a key component of social work practice. Using practice vignettes, personal experience and case work examples to discuss a variety of issues, this updated edition adds a new chapter on the theoretical basis of AOP as well as several practice chapters dealing with issues of child protection, poverty and welfare rights, disability rights, working with unions and standardized assessment procedures.

Anti Oppressive Social Work Theory and Practice
Author: Lena Dominelli
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1403914001
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
This book, by one of the leading theorists of social work, tackles a subject of crucial importance to students and practitioners alike: how social workers can enable their clients to challenge and transcend the manifold oppressions that disempower them (whether through poverty, disability, mental illness, etc.). It moves from a discussion of social work's purpose and ambitions to an exposition of theory and, from there, to the practice arenas of working with individuals, in groups, within organisations, and within a wider social and political context.

Anti-Oppressive Social Work

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
Anti-Oppressive Social Work: Ways of Knowing, Talking, and Doing provides the conceptual and theoretical background to unravel the intellectual puzzles posed by the authors' personal stories of oppression and anti-oppressive practice. This text works to provide students with the deepunderstanding that social workers must have a solid knowledge of society and its power relationships so they can create anti-oppression "in the moment" and in partnership with service users.The book begins by defining oppression and anti-oppression and examines ways to think critically about issues of power. It then goes on to explore specific forms of oppression (such as whiteness), as well as various isms (racism, sexism, heterosexism, cissexism, ableism, and sanism), colonizationand decolonization, and the problem of poverty and social order. Ultimately, the authors contend that the "dream" of doing anti-oppression must be done in partnership with service users. Exercises, activities, and "Key Concept" boxes provide stepping stones and opportunities for students to applyanti-oppression to their everyday life and their future practice.

Gerontological Social Work in Action
Author: Wendy Hulko
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351801538
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Gerontological Social Work in Action introduces "anti-oppression gerontology" (AOG), a critical approach to social work with older adults, their families, and communities. AOG principles are applied to direct and indirect practice and a range of topics of relevance to social work practice in the context of a rapidly aging and increasingly diverse world. Weaving together stories from diverse older adults, theories, research, and practical tools, this unique textbook prompts social workers to think differently and push back against oppressive forces. It pays attention to issues, realities, and contexts that are largely absent in social work education and gerontological practice, including important developments in our understanding of age/ism; theories of aging and social work; sites and sectors of health and social care; managing risk and frailty; moral, ethical and legal questions about aging including medical assistance in dying; caregiving; dementia and citizenship; trauma; and much more. This textbook should be considered essential reading for social work students new to or seeking to specialize in aging, as well as those interested in the application of anti-oppressive principles to working with older adults and researching later life.

Doing Critical Social Work
Author: Bob Pease
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000256790
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
Critical social work encourages emancipatory personal and social change. This text focuses on the challenge of incorporating critical theory into the practice of social workers and provides case studies and insights from a range of fields to illustrate how to work with tensions and challenges. Beginning with an outline of the theoretical basis of critical social work and its different perspectives, the authors go on to introduce key features of working in this tradition including critical reflection. Part II explores critical practices in confronting privilege and promoting social justice in social work, examining such issues as human rights, gender, poverty and class. Part III considers the development of critical practices within the organisational context of social work including the fields of mental health, child and family services, within Centrelink and prison settings. Part IV is focused on doing anti- discriminatory and anti-oppressive practice in social work with particular populations including asylum seekers, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, domestic violence survivors, older people and lesbian, gay and transgender groups. Finally, Part V outlines collectivist and transformative practices in social work and beyond, looking at environmental issues, social activism, the disability movement and globalisation. 'A highly valuable addition to social work education and practice literature in Australia and beyond its shores.'
