Zusammenfassung:
At its founding, social workers were human rights defenders who advocated for societal reforms & fought against social exclusion & discriminatory practices that violated human rights. As social work grew & developed professional skill sets, values, & ethics, the focus turned toward professionalizing social work by creating theories & interventions to guide social work practice, & justice was no longer the driving force. The role of social workers as human rights defenders faded as the place of justice in social work receded. Social work practice moved from instigating change toward maintaining the existing social infrastructure. In this book, Shirley Gatenio Gabel presents a human rights-based approach toward justice in social work practice that is more in line with social work's roots & the intentions of its founders, & moves us past the false micro/macro dichotomy within social work.
