N2  - "Social Theory, Power and Practice reflects critically on social theory before and after the postmodern turn. It seeks to pull together alternative readings of power as it may operate within discursive, material and emotional contexts. Its interconnection with questions of identity and subjectivity is explored, leading to the development of innovative frameworks by which to make sense of the diversity of power relations." "Throughout the book, theoretical ideas are related to their potential application within the field of human services practice: how they may be of value in achieving emancipatory outcomes for those who may experience distress, abuse or exclusion."--Jacket
