Some signs of normal wear but still a very Readable CLASSIC book! Book cover is RED not black. The essays in this book pose questions and raise issues with the intention say the editors, to ‘at least make the practitioners of social work uncomfortable’.These wide ranging essays sweep back and forth across a vast canvas from student education and training (an elegant essay by Geoffrey Pearson) to problems of counselling homosexuals (Don Milligan in a perceptive piece); from the theoretical bases of radical practice (Peter Leonard) to political and sociological manifestoes for social action (Stanley Cohen’s critique of deviancy theory and Marxism) and on the sham of community development programmes (Marjorie Mayo). There is more beside, all contributing to the editor’s overall perspective summed up by these words in their introductory essay.
