    The professional socialization of macro practice social workers: A narrative inquiry
    (2017-12) Nienow, Mary
    The following work is a narrative study on the professional socialization of macro practice social workers. It adapts the theoretical model of professional socialization developed by Shari Miller (2010). It explores the journey of 14 macro practice social workers from their early childhood to their present day professional life in order to better understand how they came to macro practice social work, what support they received, how they understood their work in relation to the more dominant perspective within the field of working with individuals and families, and the barriers they encountered along the way.
