"This book bears testimony to the value of a progressive form of academisation of social work education in most European countries, including former communist countries that had to re-establish social work education. It also manifests the confidence of contributors in belonging to a serious academic discipline, and the fruitfulness of bringing research 'home' from neighboring disciplines such as sociology, psychology, social policy, or pedagogy into the mainstream of social work. The contributions of this book converge on a small number of core issues for contemporary social work. These are methodologically the conceptualisation of different and interacting dimensions of diversity, and practically the defence of professionalism and discretion against encroachment by neo-liberal ideologies and cost-cutting regulations. In so doing, this underscores that theory matters in social work. Authentic social work research can demonstrate that social work has no reason to shy away from basing itself on evidence and being professionally accountable as long as its notion of evidence recognises and does justice to the complexity of social problems and acknowledges the value of intersubjectivity in producing useable and ethically grounded evidence. This book was originally published as a special issue of the European Journal of Social Work"
