Synopsis
This accessible book takes a unique person-centred approach to working with older people and provides an introduction to the legislation, policy, theory and research needed by social workers. The authors explore the experience of being an older person and how practitioners can work to make positive differences to older people's lives. In addition, the book:
- Goes beyond the mechanistic care management approaches to social work and encourages the reader to see older people holistically
- Features case studies and exercises to assist readers in reflecting on their practice
- Examines a range of contexts and perspectives, including sexuality, spirituality, learning disabilities
- Encourages wider reflection on the constraints posed by organisations employing social workers and the impact on their practice
- Provides an up-to-date exploration of safeguarding issues
Social Work with Older People is relevant for students on placement in adult services or voluntary organizations and social work practitioners working with older people.
