Abstract

Social Work

collective practice approaches

social work

In this paper I briefly outline my Ph.D. findings, which led me to make a call for a renewed commitment to collective practice approaches. I argue that social work has suffered from a trend towards decontextualizing and technologizing practice. I assert that social work needs to reclaim and revalue the importance of materiality as a framework for understanding people's experience, both service users and social workers.
