ISBN: 1403992657 ISBN-13: 9781403992659 Publisher: Palgrave MacMillan OUR PRICE: $104.49 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: October 2006 Annotation: "Community Care in Perspective" fills a major gap in medical and social history by offering a detailed account of community provision for so called "vulnerable adults," from 1948 in the UK. The book focuses primarily on people with learning difficulties, but offers insights into community care more broadly, particularly through the use of key themes. The book has a contemporary relevance to aspiring and existing practitioners in health and social care because although historical lessons do not provide any kind of blueprint for the future, an understanding of the evolution of community care is of practical help to policy makers and service providers in offering a context for their work. |
