Reviews
"This book provides a welcome intellectual analysis of empowerment. There is a comprehensive literature review, and the topic is located in its policy and practice context with a sound theoretical perspective ... it is to be hoped that it will find its way onto social work courses, and into post-qualification training ... the book should be helpful in advancing a number of very important debates in children and families social work." Community Care
"Empowering practice? is a timely and important book [which] analyses the concept of empowerment with particular reference to child welfare. It is also a measured and comprehensive review of the national and international literature on family group conferences. This balanced book will be of value to academics and practitioners alike." Christine Hallett
