Summary: "Sociology offers rich conceptualizations of bodies as markers of identity and objects of social control. Neuroscience demonstrates how social conditions get under our skin. This text shows how social work might draw upon theories from these disciplines to develop a social work theory of the body. Part one explores the theories which inform a social work theory of the body and part two looks at the practical implications of this within a range of different practice settings."--Publisher description.
