About the Book

In recent years, several developments have stimulated new ways of thinking about the social worker's ""self"" or ""selves"" in all aspects of practice. The focus on practice with diverse populations, and the emphasis on ""anti-oppressive"" practice have highlighted elements of the relationship between social worker and client. The objective of this book is threefold: 1. Offer the reader a historical/developmental overview of the concept of ""use of self"" and critically explore its adequacy for contemporary ethical practice. 2. Provide the reader with first-person, practitioners' accounts of their own ""use of self"" in examples of reflective practice approaches. 3. Broaden the scope of the concept of critical ""use of self"" to fields of service where it is under-theorized in, for example, community work and corrections.

Review :
"This book is a treasure, a valuable and much-needed addition to the social work literature. Giving priority to the use of self perspective will clarify the elements of subjectivity brought to a relationship that encompasses one's personhood, identity, culture, diversity, and social position of class, status, role, authority, and power." -- Atalia Mosek, DSW, Senior Lecturer and former Director of Social Work program, Tel Hai Academic College, Israel.
