Abstract

[Extract] In this chapter I flesh out the changing contexts for my career as a 'radical' in social work, and especially the challenges and op¬portunities which in different eras affected the extent to which a more radical practice was - and is still - possible. I close with some reflections on the existential angst which is an inevitable constant companion in doing what is now known as critical social work for social justice.
