This book brings together contributions from a range of social welfare settings, including child welfare, unemployment, mental health and substance abuse treatment, to examine how interprofessional collaboration and service user participation are realised or challenged in multi-agency meetings. It provides empirically grounded analyses of specific aspects of multi-agency work and offers a distinctive conceptual framework for understanding and analysing interaction during meetings in various social welfare settings. Based on audio and video recordings, the authors provide clear examples of actual practices of social welfare professionals and demonstrate how the realisation of collaborative and integrated welfare policy is contingent on effective interactional practices between professionals and service users.
Auf welches Wissen stützt sich die Praxis Sozialer Arbeit? In welchen Situationen wird welches Wissen von wem (gegenüber wem) expliziert? Mit welchen Absichten? Mit welchen Folgen? Was lässt sich daran erkennen und daraus schließen? Dieses Buch beleuchtet den Wissensgebrauch Sozialer Arbeit aus Sicht der ethnomethodologischen Konversationsanalyse. Gestützt auf einen umfangreichen Datenkorpus von Hilfeplangesprächen zeigt Heinz Messmer, wie Professionelle in der direkten Interaktion mit Betroffenen (Kindern, Heranwachsenden und Eltern) Wissen generieren, wie dieses Wissen im Gespräch prozessiert, wie und mit welchen Absichten es gültig gemacht wird und welche Schlüsse sich daraus ergeben.

“Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.” —Sir Walter Scott Prostitution is legal. Money is openly worshipped as a religion. Children of the elite are grown in artificial hosts instead of their mother’s womb. Ultimate luxury hotels supply their clientele with AI sex droids created solely to fulfill every fantasy. Stupendous wealth is a moral imperative—not only to sustain, but grow, by any means necessary. Human life is disposable. Dolly, Keisha, and Tanja are three human sex workers trying to make it in a world where living flesh is becoming obsolete. Sarcastic, bawdy, and completely loyal to each other, the women work the streets and cheap hotels every night while Kyle, their driver, keeps a protective eye over them. One day, awakened by one of her chronic nightmares, Dolly goes for a jog in an attempt to clear her head. Finding herself in an unknown area, she accidentally stumbles onto a terrible secret which soon puts all their lives in danger. Now they must run from a ruthless, unstoppable enemy who has eyes and ears everywhere.

Those who follow German contemporary painting are tracking, most often, the evolution of the Leipzig School and Dresden Pop. Among the essential, independent talents who fall into neither category is Cologne-based artist painter Peter Zimmermann, born in 1956. Zimmermann has been working since the late 1980s on paintings that question contemporary visuality. His work, no matter how conceptual in its subject matter, is full of seductive sensuality. The Book Cover Paintings transcribe art books onto the canvas, reflecting their own art historical roots. The flowing forms of his Blob Paintings parse new media, distorting photographs on the computer and transferring them to canvas. Zimmermann's work has been the subject of solo shows in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Paris, Berlin, and London, and is in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art. In March 2007, it was exhibited at The Happy Lion Gallery, Los Angeles.
“Selvaratnam very bravely and compellingly uses her personal experience to shine a light on the global crisis of violence against women. An important book for the women’s rights movement, Assume Nothing demonstrates that violence against women exists across race, class, economic status and education levels, and may be perpetrated by those we think of as allies! It dispels the myth that there are certain types of victims and perpetrators. It will help a lot of people, and particularly those who hesitate to identify as a victim/survivor for fear of losing their grounding both publicly and privately.”—Yasmeen Hassan, Global Executive Director, Equality Now “This courageous and terrify...
