| Authors: | Judith, A. B. Lee |

| Description: | This book offers a direct practice approach to social work practice undergirded by knowledge that can empower practitioners, students, and other helping professionals who work with people who are poor, living with oppression, and seeking liberation (openly or in the secret places of the heart). People called “clients” or “consumers of services” may also use it to empower themselves. The style of the book is consistent with the empowerment approach. In this approach the worker is a fellow human being who struggles with issues of daily life, developing vision, raising consciousness, taking action, and engaging in praxis (action, reflection on the action, return to action, and reflection) in order to develop critical perspective and challenge the indirect (internalized) and external power blocks that keep us oppressed |
