Revised to emphasise the current policy drive towards personalisation and service user participation in care management, the new edition of Social Work with Older People remains an insightful introductory text.

It offers a new chapter on safeguarding and has been updated to reflect current course requirements: - Part I introduces the theory, policy and legislation which influences social work contexts - Part II identifies core elements of practice, for effective interviewing, assessment, planning and intervention Written by experienced and respected authors, this book will help readers understand the diverse experiences of later life, leading to positive and informed students and practitioners of social work.

Social Work with Older People Bewertungen

Reviews of 5th edition: 'Like the previous editions of this text, this newly updated version remains highly relevant as core reading for students on undergraduate and postgraduate social work courses and social work practitioners. The content is comprehensive, integrating relevant policy, theory and research throughout the chapters. I would anticipate that this book will be as widely read and respected as previous editions.' - Denise Tanner, Lecturer in Social Work, University of Birmingham, UK 'I will be confidently recommending this text to students, as has been the case with its predecessors. This includes students on qualifying courses both in the final year of their degree and at post-graduate level. I believe that there is sufficient criticality to merit study at the higher academic level, while the focus on the value of social work ensures that the book is important for all students in qualification.' - Mark Lymbery, Associate Professor of Social Work, University of Nottingham, UK Reviews of the previous edition: '[A] scholarly, well founded book that makes the case for the importance of social work with older people.' - Ageing & Society 'Highly recommended to students and practitioners...a wide-ranging and interest-sparking book...' - British Journal of Social Work 'Welcoming for social work students new to social work with older people and as an invaluable handbook for practice learning, this text will also benefit their supervisors and assessors as a benchmark to the required knowledge and skills at this level.' - Trish Hafford-Letchfield, Social Policy and Social Work
