Humankind seems to be heading along a precarious path. If we are to redirect and bring about truly transformative change, we must develop new understandings of the complex issues facing our global society.
In this important new text, renowned scholar Stanley Witkin explores how this might be approached within social work. Using social constructionist-informed critical analyses, Witkin proposes new conceptualisations of significant social work issues and suggests innovative possibilities for transformative change. 
Providing a highly accessible discussion of complex theories and their application to practice, this ground-breakingtextpresents a transformative framework for the future of social work.

How do unforeseen events influence our lives? For retired professor, Lenny Isaacson, daily life has become predictable: walking his dog, reminiscing, and grappling with questions of living and dying. He longs for something more. But as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for. Things begin to change when he encounters an enigmatic street person who keeps showing up in different guises. Then, a catastrophic event upends his life. Routine has vanished, replaced with uncertainty and danger. While struggling to manage this new reality, he is confronted with a potentially lethal situation. How he faces the threat will lead him on a new, unimagined journey.
