Summary: | "This book is part of the Transforming Social Work Practice series written specifically to support students on social work degree courses. Increasing numbers of people require care in later life, care that only well-trained and motivated social workers can provide. This book will help students develop a distinctive focus on scoail work practice in the context of working with older people and will enable the reader to develop the knowledge, skills and values that will enable them to promote and protect the individual and collective well-being of the older people with whom they work. Designed primarily as an interactive resource with activities and case studies throughout the text, this second edition features contemporary research to illustrate and draw out key points. It covers the legal and political context of working with older people, as well as specific areas of social work practice such as sensory and physical impairment."--Back cover. |
