Book Synopsis
Emotions are central to our humanity and yet, when it comes to social work, 'difficult' emotions like shame, anger, disgust, fear and sadness are often dismissed as unprofessional.
This groundbreaking book challenges the taboo around emotion in social work. The first of its kind, it uses international research and hundreds of practitioner interviews to explore emotions in social work, and to demonstrate how embracing all emotions can enhance practice, prevent emotional burnout and strengthen motivation.
Accessibly written and with a strong practical element, this book is an invaluable tool for turning complex and emotionally charged situations into rich opportunities for learning, enhancing resilience and developing personal and professional growth.
