Description: Institutionalization of Social Welfare : A Study of Medicalizing Management, Hardcover by Holmqvist, Mikael, ISBN 0415958024, ISBN-13 9780415958028, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Despite Sweden's reputation as a model welfare state, Holmqvist (business, Stockholm University) reported in a 2005 study that its state-run Samhill vocational rehabilitation program was "...more responsive to the needs of its own activities...than to the unique needs of its clients." Drawing on C. Wright Mill's concept of the "sociological imagination," he found that such organizations treat social problems as personal ones--in this case, putting unemployed persons in the role of occupationally disabled. In this followup study in response to subsequent heated debate, he explores the idea that Samhill is representative of the global institutionalization of social welfare and factors underlying this management approach. Methodological notes are appended. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
