Bridging everyday social work with systemic theory, this book translates familiar ideas into purposeful, intentional and relational practice.

Systemic social work is an understanding that we do not work with problem people or problem families. Rather, the issues or needs that our clients present to us, originate and are maintained by the (multiple) systems that they live within. To understand these issues and what we need to do in response as practitioners, we first have to understand the complex functioning of the systems around them.

Designed for busy professionals, this book is packed with reflexive exercises and examples from direct practice in children's and adult's social work. You'll be equipped with a guiding framework and tools to tackle the real-world challenges of modern statutory social work.

Liz Bosanquet is a qualified social worker with a post-graduate diploma in family and systemic practice. She has over 20 years' experience working within children's social care. Liz is the founder and director of Collective Space, a social work training and practice organization. She lives in London.
