Integrity and Change

The restructuring of the welfare state in the last ten years has meant that many people working in education, health and social work services are preoccupied with the effects of the imposition of market values on the work they do. The twelve contributors to this book, including clinicians, academics and organizational consultants, explore experiences and dilemmas common to a range of settings.
They ask a number of pressing questions and raise some crucial issues for debate, including: whether or not it is possible for people in the caring professions to work creatively and with integrity in the present climate; which strategies and ways of thinking may help combat demorilazation; and the possibilities for change and development.
