Self-Leadership in Social Work

Reflections from Practice

By: Bill McKitterick

In Self-Leadership in Social Work, Bill McKitterick calls for change in the practice of the profession. Arguing that the current approaches have minimized the social justice focus and therapeutic and change-oriented interventions, McKitterick explores the ways that strong self-leadership can help social workers refocus their attention on efforts that can achieve positive change. He identifies tactics and strategies for providing leadership within a team and in senior positions. Offering a fresh and innovative view of the field, this book will inspire social workers, managers of social services, and social work students to exercise leadership in their own practice.

EBOOK: Supervision

By: Bill McKitterick

“This excellent book is a back to basics reminder of the fundamentals of supervision. It provides an easy to read guide to improve and strengthen the essential yet sometimes neglected supervision process … One particular strength are the good-practice checklists in each chapter; they summarise what is core and crucial to the effectiveness of supervision, provides useful examples of practice and a ‘what to do’ list of actions.” Sofie Franklin, Child Protection Social Worker, UK “This book shows how reflection and critical analysis should be at the heart of good supervision and explains why this is not always achieved. More importantly, it goes on to inform readers on how to get the most out of supervision with examples of good practice. Personally, I have found the book to be most helpful as part of my own early professional development.” Gary Law, Children and Young People in Care Social Worker, Bury Local Authority, UK “In this accessible and comprehensive book, Bill McKitterick brings his wealth of professional experience to bear, reinvigorating professional supervision in social work and reinstating its place at the heart of practice. This is a timely challenge to the tyranny of managerialism and process compliance in social work” Sue White, Professor of Social Work, University of Birmingham, UK Part of a new Social Work Pocketbooks series, this brief and to the point social work resource enables students, social workers, supervisors and line managers to understand what good supervision is and how to implement it. Useful features include: Practical ways for supervisors and social workers to prepare for and use supervision Strategies to improve supervision or start again when it has fallen into disuse Methods and advice to protect and prioritise time and space for supervision Advice on maintaining supervision alongside organisational focus on performance management Addressing supervision in multi-professional settings Written by an experienced practitioner, this book recognises the working environment of social workers and their managers and provides the structure for them to collaborate as peers.

Travels Into Print

Exploration, Writing, and Publishing with John Murray, 1773-1859

By: Innes M. Keighren,Charles W. J. Withers,Bill Bell

The Age of Exploration and Discovery may well have started in the 15th century, but for the British, the 19th century saw the rise of the British Empire and an explosion in world travel. The travel narratives written during this century were profuse, and by some estimates more travel narratives were written during the first half of the 19th century than in all preceding centuries. These accounts tell of wondrous zoological and botanical finds, of topography never before imagined, and of exotic peoples as well. At the time, there was one publisher, John Murray, known for its utter domination of the travel narrative field. The caliber and profile of their list was known throughout the UK and Europe, and into the US as well. The authors of the house included Jane Austen, Lord Byron, Washington Irving, and Sir Walter Scott. And in its list of travel writing and exploration, the house boasted the authors Charles Darwin and Charles Lyell. Murray s name became as synonymous with travel writing and exploration as it was with literary giants. Travels into Print is a tour through the archives and files of the House of Murray, and marvelous expedition in the geography of travel and exploration writing, knowledge, and reception in the 19th century. Rather than focusing on narratives of a particular region, or scientific area of interest, or particular period, the work uses a source that cuts across all of these areas, the publisher. Steeped in book files, and correspondence about edits, and revisions, sent between Murray and his staff and explorers, the book addresses the ways in which the texts were written, the role of truth in the accounts, correspondence as a form of production, and the writings as travel documents. This is a wonderful history of the book, told from the perspective of a legendary book and author maker.

Crusoe's Books

Readers in the Empire of Print, 1800-1918

By: Bill Bell

This is a book about readers on the move in the age of Victorian empire. It examines the libraries and reading habits of five reading constituencies from the long nineteenth century: shipboard emigrants, Australian convicts, Scottish settlers, polar explorers, and troops in the First World War. What was the role of reading in extreme circumstances? How were new meanings made under strange skies? How was reading connected with mobile communities in an age of expansion? Uncovering a vast range of sources from the period, from diaries, periodicals, and literary culture, Bill Bell reveals some remarkable and unanticipated insights into the way that reading operated within and upon the British Empire for over a century.

The Only Kid on the Carnival

An Extraordinary Childhood

By: Bill Jackson

During that wonderful golden age of local children's television, many talented people pooled their skills to enthrall and edify the impressionable, appreciative viewers. Yet with no disrespect intended toward any of the others, one person stood out in his ability to spin gold out of straw: Bill Jackson. Bill's legion of fans still cherish his amazing adventures with the memorable puppet characters that sprung from his fertile imagination on programs such as Cartoon Town, The BJ and Dirty Dragon Show, and Gigglesnort Hotel. These programs remain as fresh and entertaining today as they did when they were first broadcast, and belie their meager budgets and restrictive production schedules, thanks to Bill's artistic integrity and his coterie of hard-working crew members. Now, Bill steps out from behind his familiar TV persona to reveal a poignant personal journey filled with struggles, heartaches, and triumphs. The Only Kid on the Carnival chronicles the indomitable spirit of a young man who became one of television's most creative and gifted talents, and does so in a boldly engaging manner that touches the heart and the soul. As always, Bill Jackson does not disappoint his audience. Ted Okuda, "The Golden Age of Chicago Children's Television
