Social and Moral Theory in Casework Raymond Plant 1970 First Edition Paperback

Social and Moral Theory in Casework by Raymond Plant. Routledge & Kegan Paul, London and Boston. Library of Social Work series. Paperback edition.

An early philosophical work by Raymond Plant, then Assistant Lecturer in Philosophy at the Victoria University of Manchester, later Lord Plant of Highfield, Labour peer, professor of jurisprudence, and influential British political philosopher. The book maps the logical geography of an important set of concepts entering the theory of social casework: self-direction, role, adjustment, integration, and acceptance. Plant examines the relationship between casework practice and underlying moral and political commitments, asking whether the activity of casework can genuinely be considered apolitical. Part of the Routledge Library of Social Work series for students training in social work, this is a foundational text for the philosophy of social work practice.

Particularly relevant for students of applied ethics, social work theory, British welfare history, and the early work of Raymond Plant.
