‘Anti-Oppressiveness’ : Critical Comments on a Discourse and its Context / Malcolm Millar in The british journal of social work, 2, vol. 38 (February 2008)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 2, vol. 38 (February 2008) . - pp. 362-375 Titre : ‘Anti-Oppressiveness’ : Critical Comments on a Discourse and its Context Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Malcolm Millar, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp. 362-375 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Cardijn Travail social Résumé : "This paper identifies and aims to explain an apparent dissonance between the dominance in Britain of ‘anti-oppressive’ social work discourse and the socio-political context surrounding its use; a context often claimed to feature excessive regulation and control. Pursuing this, some politically radical aims associated with ‘anti-oppressiveness’ are spelt out, and the difficulty of achieving these in an unconducive climate is discussed. Then, a distinction made by Robert Merton between ‘latent’ and ‘manifest’ functions is used to suggest that the manifest radicalism of ‘anti-oppressive’ discourse can helpfully be distinguished from some latent largely unrecognised consequences of its use – not consequences with politically radical impact, but with a social meaning congruent with a climate of control. It is concluded that the ‘success’ of anti-oppressive discourse might well be viewed as requiring more of the kind of critical analysis that the discourse itself was supposed to espouse."

The "Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and their Families" : a Basis for a 'Therapeutic'Encounter? / Malcolm Millar in The british journal of social work, 36/6 (oct. 2006)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe british journal of social work > 36/6 (oct. 2006) . - pp. 887-899 Titre : The "Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and their Families" : a Basis for a 'Therapeutic'Encounter? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Malcolm Millar, Auteur ; Brian Corby, Auteur Editeur : Oxford : Oxford university press - GB - Oxford Année de publication : 2006 Article en page(s) : pp. 887-899 Langues : Français (fre) Catégories : Cardijn Evaluation # Thérapie TS Aide sociale:Aide sociale -- Bénéficiaires Mots-clés : Evaluation  Thérapie  Usager Résumé : "Does the "Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and their Families", implemented by local authorities in England in 2001, embody an ethos of bureaucratic regulation with stultifying effects on social work, or is there evidence, as was anticipated in the official guidance accompanying the framework’s introduction, that it has potential as a basis for therapeutic social work? These questions are considered in this paper, which analyses findings from a study of the use of the framework based on interviews with service users and social workers. Some service users found aspects of their assessment to be personally beneficial. This is discussed in detail, reaching the conclusion that using the framework can be therapeutic. Furthermore, it is argued that part of what some service users considered helpful was related to the format of the new framework, and not only to its use in the hands of skilful and experienced practitioners. This point is pursued to suggest that carefully balanced analysis is particularly important in the discussion of developments in assessment practice that might seem too ‘bureaucratic’."
