Concepts and methods of youth work is the first of three volumes in the Doing youth work in Australia series edited by Rob White and published for the youth work field by the Australian Clearinghouse for Youth Studies. It contains a select range of contributions from the ACYS journal Youth Studies Australia chosen by Professor White for their relevance and practical significance to youth work in Australia today. Concepts and methods of youth work looks at the key issues of youth work as a career and as a profession. It not only delves into the practical skills and knowledge needed by individuals, but also highlights the ideological or philosophical universe within which workers operate.
