Social Work Beyond Borders: The Importance of Relationships


Social Work Beyond Borders: the Importance of Relationships / Ruth Stark. IFSW, 2019.

Social work happens where people work together to create social development. The approach in this book provides living demonstrations of the social work role. It takes as its theme the fourth pillar of the Global Agenda for Social Work and Social Development. Every story relates to relationships that are created to achieve change. Telling people’s stories, describing their experience, using reflective practice, has significant advantages over more traditional social science research methodologies which all too often squeeze practice approaches into non-functional linear frameworks.

Rather than following an ‘evidence-approach’, which usually minimises complexity and always lags behind adaptive and innovation practice, this anthology illuminates social worker’s applying the profession’s principles in contexts of significant complexity. Strengthening relationships, building solidarity and realising people’s real interdependent power is at the heart of this book. Many more publications of this nature are needed to arouse discussion and reflection that will inspire future actions with families, communities and societies.
