He draws on Italian experience and practice in community care and development to foster a deeper understanding of the relational core of social  problems' and  solutions', demonstrating an alternative approach to the current trend in positivistic evidence-based methods. The text explores how the interested parties in social care (users, carers, neighbours, volunteers, professional workers, managers, policy makers) can acquire a shared power in care planning and decision making. Folgheraiter demonstrates that when this networking and empowerment occurs, caring initiatives become truly social based and their efficacy increases. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book provides the framework for the repositioning of social care practice in relation to the state and civil society. The model of practice proposed is an important step towards the development of networks that can effect change locally, nationally and globally.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ann Davis,Fabio Folgheraiter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843101912\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843101918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Ann Davis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48112781263103,"sku":"9781843101918","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddd3b74a-b75d-4690-b88e-7277d82d7cc8.jpg?v=1769610896","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/relational-social-work-ann-davis-9781843101918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
