Читать книгу Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice - Prospera Tedam - Страница 58

This chapter will examine the concepts of power and powerlessness, both as generic concepts and specifically in relation to social work education and practice. Beginning with a discussion about what these terms mean, the chapter will address the relevance of this understanding for anti-oppressive social work, as well as the various types of power. I will propose the Power Flower (Arnold et al., 1991) as a useful tool for understanding, visualising and acknowledging our own power.
