De-diagnosis and the problem of revisability in adult ADHD and autism
Recorded diagnoses of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism in adults have risen sharply across high-income health systems, and demand for assessment has risen faster still, while the best available population estimates of prevalence appear to have moved comparatively little. This paper treats that divergence as an analytic problem. We argue that adult neurodevelopmental diagnosis has undergone a threefold transformation: it …
An evaluation of a collaborative experiential learning model to develop communication skills in social work education
This article reports findings of a research project aimed to evaluate the experiences of British social work students in communication skills development. The collaborative experiential learning model across eight weeks consisted of teaching followed by role-play practice, which was undertaken in groupwork within a university teaching space and on Teams. The students provided peer feedback which was supplemented with feedback from teaching staff,…

Within this article we highlight that social work is both a political as well as a professional practice. Despite years of technical specialisation and a policy context that has focused social work on risk management and resource allocation, there remains a deep commitment to care, compassion, and solidarity within contemporary social work practice. The article and its analysis make the case for a more politically informed social work practice, o…

This paper will…
First and last and always

Streetwork is located as a historical professional discourse that has contemporary relevance for a rapidly changing and globalised world. As a practice discourse, streetwork occurs across a range of community-based helping professions, including social work, youth work and community work. The social work profession is increasingly becoming clinical and situat…
