The stealth rise of control
Professionalism has long been a term understood to distinguish social strata, commonly highlighting those trusted to employ expert knowledge for the benefit of society. Professionalism however is evolving; this position article contributes to the subject in drawing together different threads of literature beyond empirical studies to extend the discussion on professionalism, shedding a light on an area of interest. Specifically, it is argued that …
Who Are Our Support Networks?” A Qualitative Study of Informal Support for Carers
There is little information about the types of social support and content of assistance for informal carers. This article aims to fill this knowledge gap by studying 37 informal carers in a region of the UK. It was found that adult children were the main source of support for older carers regardless of ethnic backgrounds, minority ethnic carers supported their husband to fulfill traditional caring duties by taking care of mother-in-law in the sam…
Meaning Through Caregiving
This article reports the findings of a qualitative investigation of the way people find meaning through caregiving. It draws on the results of in-depth interviews with 37 informal carers and 11 stakeholders in Nottinghamshire, the United Kingdom. For most respondents caregiving involved looking after family members—for example, husband or wife, father or mother, young or adult children and mother-in-law. The meaning that respondents found through…
Grief Counselling and Grief Therapy
Grief, bereavement and loss are inevitable experiences in the human condition. Grieving over death and loss is an essential and vital process that most people are able to experience and emerge from in a healthy manner. Grief is multidimensional, transformational and a unique experience for people experiencing it. Grief is pressed into the service of death and dying (Kubler-Ross, 1989) but can also be experienced in divorce, termination of work, l…
Values & Ethics in Social Work, Chris Beckett, Andrew Maynard and Peter Jordan
This is an accessible and well-structured read. Whilst having ‘social work’ in the title, this book is aimed at a broad audience of social policy, social science, social care as well as social work students and practitioners. The overall arc of the book is a welcome addition to the literature on social work values and ethics. The third edition covers familiar territory, in defining values and ethics, the moral philosophy that informs values and e…

There are a variety of established approaches, supported by different concepts and theories.

Values and Ethics in Social Work Practice
The legacy of the Situationist International
This article argues that the Situationist International (S.I.) forms an essential resource that prefigures the values and organisation of certain trends within the creative industries. Reviewing the history and key contributions of the S.I., it will discuss the tensions between its artistic and more overtly political elements. The central concepts of the spectacle, dérive, détournement, psychogeography and unitary urbanism are examined in the sec…
The anger management is not working
At a time of post-9/11 millenarianism, of the continued engagement in Iraq, and when the spectacle is at war with itself, the relative lack of cultural politics in the UK is perhaps surprising. Onto that scene has crept a latter-day Situationist armed with a spray-can, a sharp eye and an ironic sense of humour. Bansky has fostered a reputation to rival Debord's enigmatic mystique, appearing and disappearing to disrupt, subvert and amuse. It is un…
