Reviews
'Another insightful contribution by Steve Rogowski who, in recent years, has written about the rise of neoliberalism and managerialism, and the contextual effects of this development upon frontline social work practice with children and families. As with his other publications, this book advocates a critical social work practice which makes interesting reading for both students and more professionally experienced practitioners. This book reflects Steve's passion for social justice. Unlike many writers on social work, he has spent most of his professional life doing the job and he provides readers with important dispatches from the profession's 'frontline'. The book should be on 'recommended reading lists' for social courses in the UK and beyond.' - Lisa Cooney, Social Worker, England
