Applying Theory to Policy and Practice

"In recent years the analysis of social and public policy and professional practice has become increasingly theoretical. This volume comprises contributions from experienced practitioners and academics in social work, probation and counselling, as well as from other forms of legal and social practice concerning refugees, 'race' relations, and disability. Various theoretical frameworks are referred to, either rooted in professional practice, or from social and political theory, ethics and philosophy, to understand better the relationship between theory, policy and practice. The contributors argue that the use of theory in studying policy and practice is overall a positive and indeed: necessary development. However, they also highlight and explore a number of methodological problems and philosophical issues for critical reflection."--BOOK JACKET.
