Abstract

Over recent years, in close discussions with others, we have been trying to develop an approach to practice which we call constructive social work (Parton and O'Byrne, 2000). While the elements we discuss will be very familiar to readers of this journal we do feel the idea of constructive social work can offer something which is distinctive and challenging.
