Summary: "Featuring international contributions, this diverse text explores an array of concepts and themes that are vital to our understanding of the base value in social work and social care." "Each chapter contains a range of exercises and activities that are intended to encourage students to take a creative and active learning approach to defining and under standing values. Among the key themes examined in the book are the tensions between values such as justice, anti-discrimination, compassion, and empathy, and the cult of managerialism. Also included are chapters on: anti-oppressive practice, service user values, ageism, violence prevention and valuing equality." "The Value Base of Social Work and Social Care is a key text for students undertaking the qualifying social work degree, and for those studying youth work, youth justice, education welfare, probation, health care, counselling and community work. Due to the range of contributors and the current emphasis placed on interprofessional working, it is also relevant to an international audience of practitioners and professionals within the field of social care."--BOOK JACKET.
