商品簡介
This text evolved from a 1997 conference organized by the Department of Social Policy and Social Work, in Tampere, Finland, and two subsequent seminars held in 2001 in Tampere and Huddersfield, UK. Nineteen academics, researchers, and practitioners from Europe, Australia, and the U.S. contribute 14 chapters on clienthood construction in different human service contexts. Coverage includes the creation and re-creation of client identities in interview situations and other institutional practices; institutional dialogue in worker-client and professional-professional talk; the formation of professional or organizational frameworks, ideologies and conceptualization in social work practices; and the implications of such constructions.
