Empowerment in der Sozialen Arbeit: Eine Einführung

The concept of empowerment represents a change from a deficit centred perspective on recipients of social work. The practice of empowerment aims at strengthening the skills of recipients to manage their own everyday lives and liberating resources to organise their own way of life. The book offers a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of empowerment in social work. The multiple methods used in the empowerment practice are presented in detail: management of support, biographic dialogue, networking and organisational development. Finally the book undertakes an effort to position itself in the current debate on the changes of the identity of social work through empowerment.
