'Dr van Ewijk's book can be credited with contextualising social policy and social work in a European dimension, linking theory with useful suggestions for the practice of social work. By analysing the role of social work through the lens of competences, the author provides an exhaustive, interesting and innovative proposal for teachers and practitioners of social work.' - Annamaria Campanini, Università Milano Bicocca, Italy
'In this book Hans van Ewijk coins a stimulating approach to social work. By questioning the impact of some new notions on social work, as well as popular or over-discussed ones, this book offers an inestimable mapping for researchers, teachers and social professionals toward a contextual transformational social work.' - Paola Richard-De Paolis, Haute École de Travail Social et de la Santé, Switzerland
