Control forms the basis for much social work practice, yet the realities of how much control is exercised in everyday practice often remains hidden. Combining original research with critical analysis, this book reveals how ethical frameworks, agency and interaction influence decisions – and how control can produce paradoxical, unexpected outcomes.
