Amid social contradictions : towards a history of social work in Europe
"This collection of essays incorporates the work of experts and scholars from both Eastern and Western Europe. Contributions focus on the emergence and development of Social Work amid social contradictions, and discuss selected themes that have preoccupied Social Work across national boundaries, such as the expansion of professional training programmes or child protection. The resulting comparative analysis of the history of Social Work in the twentieth century serves as a critically informed backdrop for debating current questions about Social Work, and opens up perspectives for a profession newly aware of its European dimension." --Book Jacket
