{"product_id":"9780335218011","title":"Anti-Oppressive Practice: Social Care and the Law","description":"In the new edition of this bestselling text, the authors challenge the notion that anti-oppressive practice has lost its potency or become commodified into a professional response to inequalities. Retaining a commitment to the principles and values of anti-oppressive practice, discussion about contemporary practice is guided by a critical understanding of personal values and the context of practice.\u003cp\u003eSome key questions are explored: How is anti-oppressive practice relevant in contemporary practice? How can the law be used as an empowering tool? How can the law be used to develop and inform anti-oppressive practice?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe second edition is substantially revised and updated to take account of policy and legislative changes, with a new chapter examining the development of anti-oppressive practice in social work as well as additional activities, chapter summaries and further reading at the end of each chapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe authors draw on their own experiences and those of practitioners, service users and carers to understand issues of power and oppression, demonstrating how the law can be used to inform the development of critical anti-oppressive practice. The book therefore points the way to practice that is both empowering to service users and ultimately liberating for practitioners. Anti-Oppressive Practice is an essential text for students, practitioners, lecturers, service users and carers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJane Dalrymple is a senior lecturer at the University of the West of England\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeverley Burke is a senior lecturer in social work at Liverpool John Moores University  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Open University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012865212656,"sku":"9780335218011","price":74.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780335218011_p0.jpg?v=1763686599","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780335218011","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
