Summary

"Fabio Folgheraiter provides an innovative view of networking in social work. Drawing on his Italian experience in community care, he redefines the core of social 'problems' and 'solutions': identifying how social care workers and users, carers, volunteers, managers and policy makers can acquire a shared power in care planning." "This book provides the framework for the repositioning of social care practice. Folgheraiter's model takes a pioneering step towards the development of social based initiatives that can effect change at a micro and macro level." "Fabio Folgheraiter is Professor of Social Work Methodology at the University of Trento, Itlay; Professor at the Catholic University in Milan, Italy; and Honorary Professor at the University of Birmingham, UK."--BOOK JACKET.
