Abstract
Written specifically for students and practitioners in health and social care taking foundation degrees or further professional qualifications, this book offers a wealth of material on contexts, knowledge bases, skills and practices, as well as dealing with work carried out by those involved in treatment, therapy, advocacy and management.
'Each chaper is easy to read, providing an overview of the main models or theories linked to the subject matter. The chapters are succinct and are illustrated with short helpful scenarios, case studies and "resource Files."' - Carol Riddington, SRA:News (Social Research Association)
'The book flows well, topics are linked appropriately and the authors encourage development of professional practice by providing facts, then recommending further reading, asking review questions and offering links to further resources.' - Robert Adams, Nursing Standard
ROBERT ADAMS is Professor of Social Work, University of Teesside, UK. He has researched and written many books on health and social care policy, criminal justice, open learning and social work practice. He is currently involved in research in service user and carer participation.
