- This is the first ethnographic study to look at pride and shame in social work practice. The study used a complex set of data collection and analysis methods over a 6 year period. This included 99 staff diary entries, 19 interviews with staff, case notes, documentary data (329 pages of council documents) and 250 hours of observation of social workers, parents and children. This book outlines a novel way to investigate the inner world of emotional experience from different perspectives, with a particular contribution relating to parental perspectives which are hard to access in a child protection context.
