McLaughlinDr Ken McLaughlin
Senior Lecturer in Social Work

Ken co-ordinates modules on sociology and mental health at Manchester Metropolitan University and is concerned with the way in which societal problems are increasingly viewed through a therapeutic gaze. His book ‘Social Work Politics and Society: From radicalism to orthodoxy’ (2008, Policy Press) highlighted the authoritarian consequences of the ‘therapeutic turn’ in contemporary political life, with particular focus on social policy development and social work practice.
