520 $a The criticism and study of social workers fluctuates around two poles, where one practitioner is knowing and reflective and the other is produced, dominated and dominating. This study provides a corrective to accounts of helping professionals that rely solely on the analysis of disciplinary knowledge. It argues that holistic understandings of case managers must show how two knowledge $\ \ $p ower systems--the disciplinary and situated--keep hospitals empty and the severe mentally ill living in communities.
520 $a With historical-sociological, ethnographic, and qualitative methods this study (1997) examines case managers (thirty-five) in one suburban, Midwest mental health center that provides services to the adult mentally ill. The study borrows from Michel Foucault the idea that knowledge (disciplinary) schemes are applied to social projects. Case management practices are placed in socio-historical context through deploying Pierre Bourdieu's concept social field. The Kansas Community Support Service social field replaces the hospital and substitutes power relations such that the helper (case manager) and service recipient (consumer of mental health services) become relationally and historically defined.
520 $a The study shows how situated and disciplinary knowledge act upon three life domains of service recipients: medication, money, and manners. In one intensive case study, the unwritten (oral) narratives are juxtaposed with managers' written texts to show that case records are not simple copies of actual practice.
520 $a The inquiry demonstrates that strengths case management yields goal-oriented, apartment-dwelling subjects. The strengths (disciplinary knowledge $\ \ $p ower) focus on goals suppresses an illness and clinical language, while the situated practice of case managers recovers an illness language and in general, is pressed into action when the power of strengths is ineffective. Though the situated is formed in tension with the disciplinary, it does not necessarily lead to practitioner resistance. The study argues that situated practice is derived from a helper habitus, that is, embodied helping dispositions transposed from various cultural sites. Finally, studies that use only case records are insufficient because the situated is unwritten; thus, ethnography is crucial to the study of social work.
