This book places the issue of disability squarely in a social context and considers the implications of this view for the provision of services and for social work practice. In so doing, it starts from the ways in which disabled people have re-defined disability as a social rather than an individual problem and the influence that their organizations have had on service provision. It discusses the implications of this in a variety of different settings and across the life cycle.
The social context of disability, Vic Finkelstein; the changing context of social work practice, Bob Sapey and Nadja Hewitt; disability and new technology, Paul Cornes; social work practice in traditional settings, Patrick Phelan and Simon Cole; social work in an organization of disabled people, Etienne d'Aboville; housing and independent living, Bernie Fiedler; social work with disabled children and their families, Philippa Russell; disabled young people, Michael Hirst, William Parter and Andrew Cozens; disability in adulthood - the OPCS reports, Paul Abberley; ageing with a disability, Gerry Zarb.
Raises a number of pertinent issues and questions for social workers and other professionals working with people with disabilities.
