Nigel Thomas, University of Central Lancashire
“This book represents a very welcome and substantial
addition to the literature on social work with young people. Taking
as its starting point the problematic nature of youth, and the
uncertainty surrounding contemporary social work, it skillfully,
and in depth, explores the contextual implications of these two
themes, drawing on a wide range of research, policy and theoretical
material. This provides a robust and coherent foundation for a
concluding discussion of providing effective social work practice
with young people.”
Mike Stein, University of York
“Roger Smith's book is an excellent critical introduction
for social work students and practitioners on working with young
people. Blending theory, research and practice it challenges
assumptions, champions a user-centred aproach and promotes social
justice to this contested and contentious area of
practice.”
Hugh McLaughlin, School of Community, Health Sciences and
Social Care
