Synopsis
The issue of power is central in the analysis of the development and contemporary structures of nursing, the remedial therapies and social work. Both the idea of caring and the concept of professionalism are integral to the problems of power. Using material from the UK and the USA, this book examines the growth of these professions, and asks a critical perspective of their present organisation, highlighting race, gender and relationships with service users as central to such an analysis.

paperback. Condition: Good. Power in Caring Professions by Richard Hugman offers a clear, critical examination of how power operates within social work, nursing, counselling, and other caring roles. Hugman explores the ethical tensions that arise when professionals hold authority while aiming to empower those they support, highlighting the structural, organisational, and interpersonal factors that shape practice.
