From the Back Cover
By discussing professionalism as a set of workplace practices where boundaries have been redefined, this book argues that changes in professionalism are in response to 'new managerialism', the enterprise culture and a drive towards credentialism.
The chapters are based upon new research studies using experiences from probation, social work, the NHS, small business and church settings and the issues covered include:
* the relationship between personal and professional values
* changing professional-client relationships
* definitions of 'being professional'
* conflicts arising from different understandings of professionalism
* the construction of professional boundaries.
Professionalism, Boundaries and the Workplace will be essential reading for those studying social work and health care studies, management and policy studies and post-registration care professionals.
