Thus the victims of poverty, delinquency, family violence, and other problems are to be "normalized." But "normalize," to Andrew Polsky, is a term that "jars the ear, as well it should when we consider what this effort is all about." Here he investigates the broad network of public agencies that adopt the casework approach. 410 0$aCity in the twenty-first century book series. 606 $aPublic welfare$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aHuman services$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSocial work with people with social disabilities$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aPublic welfare$xHistory. 615 0$aHuman services$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial work with people with social disabilities$xHistory. 676 $a361.973 700 $aPolsky$b Andrew Joseph$0676309 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780199603321 996 $aRise of the therapeutic state$91287975 997 $aUNINA
