<br/><br/> The choice of theories included in this book is informed by the lived experiences of South Africans in a multi-cultural, post-colonial, post-apartheid society.  The book sees the goal of social work as effecting transformation and liberation, through the implementation of the developmental approach, and by drawing on decolonial and African concepts.  It supports social workers in working toward this goal by stimulating critical reflection and disrupting taken-for-granted beliefs and practices.  It guides readers to work with client groups across the micro-mezzo continuum in such a way that they are empowered to develop agency, thereby affirming the basic values of social justice and human dignity.
