"Paul Michael Garrett is a trenchant commentator on neo-liberalism, the welfare state and social work with children and families ... an excellent introductory text about what has happened to social work with children and families over recent decades. It is essential reading for all social work students and practitioners. Policy makers and managers should also check it out, though many will find it an uncomfortable read."

This most timely and innovative series of internationally renowned authors makes a significant contribution to advancing a new politics of social work." Professor Stephen Webb, Chair in Social Work, Glasgow Caledonian University
