Warner, Joanne2015
Books
Social work and child protection systems have for several decades been subject to cycles of crisis and reform, with each crisis drawing intense media and political scrutiny. To explain these cycles, Joanne Warner introduces the concept of emotional politics and reveals that collective emotions are central to constructions of risk and blame. She also suggests strategies for challenging emotional politics, including identifying models for a more politically engaged stance for the social work profession.
