There have been a lot of debates about social consructionism within the social sciences but there are not many books on the subject within the field of social work. This work is intended to fill that gap. It brings together those experts of social constructionist approaches who share a common interest in everyday practices of social work and in qualitative methods for analyzing those practices. The book comprises both theoretical/reflexive articles and articles based on empirical studies. Together they form a thought-provoking and extensive whole, which brings a fresh approach to social work methodological contributions. The volume provides empirically based material on how social workers can use social constructionist ideas in actionfor a purpose, rather than merely to analyze what has happened.
