Description
What do the stories youth in state care tell about life in their family of origin?
What stories do they tell us about coming into care, living in care, and relationships with foster-parents and social workers?
This book presents the stories of youth in care, though not in splendid isolation, but as interactively produced, turn by turn in interviews, and in conversations with other youth. By using tools from conversation analysis (CA), the author examines interviews with youth in care and social workers, to unfold the essential and incorrigible reflexivity of story production.
CA allows us to grasp the ways that a youth’s story emerges turn by turn, and is an artefact of a social relation between a youth and an interviewer.
This text provides social work readers with a sense of art, artistry, and ambiguity at the heart of social interaction.
It will be required reading for all social work students and academics looking for a deeper, more philosophical understanding of the profession.
