Using concrete examples, this optimistic book illustrates the ways in which structual social work theory is being successfully implemented in social work practice. By providing examples of what does work in structural social work practice, it offers hope to others that this work is not only possible, but that it is happening, it is effective, and the rest of us can do it too.

"Structural social work scholarship has long been criticized for lacking sufficient methodological and practical application. This book takes the literature a further, and much needed, step, providing practice-relevant narratives that will assist practitioners, students, and scholars alike. I recommend this book to anyone affiliated with the social services who is interested in progressive, applicable practice."— “John R. Graham, Murray Fraser Professor, Faculty of Social Work, University of Calgary
