Abstract

This article presents a discourse analysis of a childcare drama. The purpose is to focus upon paradoxical discourses of social work that include different time orders. Social work seems to be carried out according to a linear time order implicitly assuming improvement over time. At the same time the social worker is supposed to assist the individual according to the individual’s current subjective needs within a time order referred to as the time of the mindful body. It is of great significance to critically reflect upon the power of these discourses that set the framework of social work thus creating ethical dilemmas.
