Examining how power relations operate through language and culture, it encourages readers to question how welfare words fit within a wider economic and cultural context riven with gross social inequalities; to disrupt taken-for-granted meanings within mainstream social work and social policy, and to think more deeply, critically and politically about the incessant usage of specific words and phrases. Written by an authoritative voice in the field, Paul Michael Garrett makes sense of complex theories which codify everyday experience, giving readers vital tools to better understand and change their social worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Garrett is the respected author of \u003cem\u003eR\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eemaking Social Work with Children and Families \u003c\/em\u003e(Routledge, 2003); \u003cem\u003eSocial Work with Irish Children and Families in Britain \u003c\/em\u003e(Policy Press, 2004); \u003cem\u003e′Transforming′ Children's Services?
