First published in 1978, Radicals in Social Work by Daphne Statham challenges traditional social work theories, urging professionals to question institutional norms. Statham advocates for radical social workers to engage with broader societal movements, using alternative analyses, like family dynamics, to influence practice. This thought-provoking study emphasizes raising critical questions over offering solutions, encouraging social workers and students to rethink their role within the socio-economic order and contribute to meaningful change.
