Description: Social and demographic changes have led to traditional areas of welfare being transformed. The contributors to this book take a critical look at the current situation and assess the implications for future practice. They debate the assumptions and values underlying established welfare programmes and consider the case for change.
Review Quotes: The book is accessible, and is thought provoking concerning the future of care provision for older people and the nature of the linkage between health and social care... It is of relevance to multi disciplinary and international audiences and contains much that will be of interest and use to students and educators as well as practitioners.--Social Work Education
