{"product_id":"theory-for-social-work-practice","title":"Theory for social work practice","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book presents a theory with the ambition of both describing and explaining the nature of social-work practice. It is the first book that presents an explanative theory developed specifically from and for social-work practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the fundamental questions is: How can we explain how results in social-work practice emanate from social worker’s and clients’ actions under certain contextual conditions?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe theory presented in this book is named CAIMeR, which means that it takes a systematic and coherent approach to the theory of Contexts, Actors, Interventions, Mechanisms and Results. The meta-theoretical basis is critical realism, where a key feature is the concept of generative mechanisms. This perspective can help us capture the often unobservable powers that explain how results in social work emerge as a consequence of interventions and contextual conditions. The book also presents a domain theory that explains how social workers’ professional practice is conditioned by politics, management and institutional conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is essential reading for students in social work and adjoining disciplines, but also for researchers, managers and professional social workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Studentlitteratur Ab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32440639422564,"sku":"9789144125008","price":48.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/suomalainen-test.myshopify.com\/products\/theory-for-social-work-practice","provider":"Suomalainen Test","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
