directly on the empirical aspects of the study. Chapters four and five draw most heavily on the empirical aspects of the study on the creation of the ‘appropriate’ organisation and ‘appropriate’ professional within that organisation. They focus very heavily on the impact of audit and inspection, key aspects of a neoliberal ideology. Challenges to that ideology have, Gibson asserts, ‘been diverted by blaming social workers and social work organisations, and eclipsed by presenting a version of events that evoke shame in the profession, rather than identifying problems within the wider system’ (p.74). The sense from these chapters is that the impact of audit and inspection, as well as engendering shame within workers and organisations, has skewed the organisation’s functioning towards the needs of the system, rather than the needs of families. The book concludes with the development of a model to consider the relationship between emotion regulation, emotion work and professional practice and suggests how the findings of the studymight be applicable beyond the organisation at the heart of the study, along with suggestions for further research in this important area. As the author acknowledges in the concluding chapter, the focus of the book is primarily on individual experiences of pride and shame of social workers and their managers, and there is room to explore both collective feelings of social work professionals as well as the impact of pride and shame on families that are subject to social work intervention. Whilst Gibson argues persuasively that moving beyond shame to a more humane practice requires courage, honesty and self-compassion, perhaps the bookwould have benefitted from some more concrete ideas as to how that might be brought about and strategies that workers and organisations might adopt. I would suggest that the readership of this book will largely be an academic audience, and I certainly see it being a very useful reference for my own teaching on pre-qualifying social work courses. Also I would consider that social work students and social workers, particularly in the early stages of their careers, who are doing the ‘emotion work’ explored here would find this a useful aid for reflection. Overall, this is not a comfortable read, but one that makes a very significant contribution to the debate about shame and pride within social work.

直接在研究的经验方面。第四章和第五章主要借鉴了有关创建“适当”组织和该组织内“适当”专业人员的研究的经验方面。他们非常关注审计和检查的影响,这是新自由主义意识形态的关键方面。吉布森断言,对这种意识形态的挑战“被社会工作者和社会工作组织的指责转移了注意力,并通过呈现一个引起行业耻辱的事件版本而黯然失色,而不是在更广泛的系统中发现问题”(第 74 页) . 从这些章节中可以看出,审计和检查的影响,以及在工人和组织内部造成的耻辱,使组织的运作偏向于系统的需要,而不是家庭的需要。本书最后开发了一个模型来考虑情绪调节、情绪工作和专业实践之间的关系,并建议研究结果如何适用于研究核心的组织之外,以及对这方面进一步研究的建议。重要领域。正如作者在最后一章所承认的那样,本书的重点主要是社会工作者及其管理者的自豪和羞耻的个人经历,并且有空间探索社会工作专业人员的集体感受以及自豪感的影响并对受社会工作干预的家庭感到羞耻。虽然吉布森有说服力地论证,超越羞耻而采取更人道的做法需要勇气、诚实和自我同情,也许这本书会受益于一些关于如何实现这一点以及工人和组织可能采用的策略的更具体的想法。我建议本书的读者主要是学术读者,我当然认为这对我自己的社会工作资格预审课程教学非常有用。此外,我认为社会工作专业的学生和社会工作者,特别是在他们职业生涯的早期阶段,正在做这里探索的“情感工作”会发现这有助于反思。总的来说,这不是一本舒适的读物,而是对社会工作中关于羞耻和自豪的辩论做出了非常重要的贡献。我建议本书的读者主要是学术读者,我当然认为这对我自己的社会工作资格预审课程教学非常有用。此外,我认为社会工作专业的学生和社会工作者,特别是在他们职业生涯的早期阶段,正在做这里探索的“情感工作”会发现这有助于反思。总的来说,这不是一本舒适的读物,而是对社会工作中关于羞耻和自豪的辩论做出了非常重要的贡献。我建议本书的读者主要是学术读者,我当然认为这对我自己的社会工作资格预审课程教学非常有用。此外,我认为社会工作专业的学生和社会工作者,特别是在他们职业生涯的早期阶段,正在做这里探索的“情感工作”会发现这有助于反思。总的来说,这不是一本舒适的读物,而是对社会工作中关于羞耻和自豪的辩论做出了非常重要的贡献。从事此处探讨的“情感工作”的人会发现这有助于反思。总的来说,这不是一本舒适的读物,而是对社会工作中关于羞耻和自豪的辩论做出了非常重要的贡献。从事此处探讨的“情感工作”的人会发现这有助于反思。总的来说,这不是一本舒适的读物,而是对社会工作中关于羞耻和自豪的辩论做出了非常重要的贡献。
