"Building on the successful 1st edition, this reader brings together some of the most significant ideas that have informed social work practice over the last fifty years. At the same time as presenting these foundational extracts, the book includes commentaries that allow the reader to understand the texts on their own terms as well as to be aware of their relations to each other and to the wider social work context. There is no settled view or easy consensus about what social work is and should be, and the ideas reflected in this volume are themselves diverse and complex. The world of social work has changed greatly over the last ten years, and this new edition reflects that change with new material on the decolonisation of social work knowledges, the greater emphasis on inter-disciplinarity and co-production and the new concern for identities. By providing students and practitioners with an easy way into reading first-hand some of the most interesting, foundational texts of the subject, it will be required reading for all undergraduate and postgraduate programmes and professionals undertaking post-qualifying training."--

Der Studienanfänger in den Sozialwissenschaften hat erhebliche Schwierigkeiten, sich in dem Gestrüpp der englischen Fachausdrücke und der Jargonsprache zurechtzufinden und - als zwangsläufige Folge ungenügender sprachlicher Kenntnisse-die relevanten Texte angemessen zu verstehen. Dem hilft das Wörterbuch ab. Es dient als nützlicher Begleiter durch Studium und Forschungspraxis. Obwohl vieles nicht übersetzt werden kann, und auch nicht übersetzt werden muss, sollte doch die gängige Fachterminologie bekannt sein.

Depressionen im Spitzensport sind seit den Suiziden bekannter Athleten und Athletinnen ein Dauerthema im öffentlichen Diskurs. Der Leidensdruck betroffener Akteure ergibt sich dabei nicht allein aus innerpsychischen Vorgängen, sondern hängt auch von der Art und Weise ab, wie über Depressionen kommuniziert wird. Schließlich beobachten die Leidenden ihre Situation vor allem anhand sprachlicher Konstruktionen, die gesellschaftlich verfügbar sind. Felix Kühnle klärt über die sozialen Bedingungen auf, die die Kommunikation über Depressionen im Spitzensport antreiben und das Schicksal der Betroffenen wesentlich beeinflussen

Throughout the United States and elsewhere in the Western world since World War II, there has been a grow ing interest in medicine. As early as the 1930's, popular accounts of scientific developments began to interest lay readers in medical care and innovation. The significant involvement of social and behavioral scientists in medical education and research began a decade ago and has increased rapidly. It has become apparent that the understanding of health and disease requires a holistic frame of reference in which the psychological, social, and cultural aspects of human behavior are appropriately related to the biological nature of man and the physical environ ment in which he lives. Emphasis upon the holistic approach to medical science and upon comprehensive health care has moved medicine to seek the services of social scientists, notably in connection with public health, preventive medicine, and psychiatry. And, as conceptualization and methodology in the social sciences have matured, social scientists have increasingly tended to interest themselves in applied fields and have come to grasp the significance of health and medicine as a major focus of organized human behavior. Thus, medical science, social science, and popular interest merge to formulate con temporary approaches and norms in health care.—Ed.
