‘Using high quality, original research, esteemed scholars from Europe, the US and Australia discuss the complex interdependencies of human service provision through a hybrid social work lens. The chapters portray an eloquent dance between the tensions and opportunities of collaboration and of maintaining professional boundaries. They highlight that social workers under hybrid governance may both contribute to disguising power and hierarchies, and that social workers in such settings may play significant roles as mediators of trust. The book raises important questions about the role of social workers within interprofessional networks in evolving hybrid landscapes.’
