Paperback. Condition: Good. Are disabled people lagging behind in the development of living conditions? Are more disabled people being excluded from work? There is a growing interest in the study of disabled peoples' living conditions, in order to uncover social problems, to compare social groups and describe development over time. If a group is shown to fall behind, this will be an important backing of claims for political action. This book presents the present state of the art in this field of research and social reporting. Our concern is not about the need to gather information on disabled peoples' living conditions, but that research of this kind has been undertaken without due attention to the underlying theory and practice. This also applies to fundamental questions such as: How to define disability? How to take account of a relative or social understanding of disability? Researchers from different countries have been invited to contribute based on their own perspectives and experiences. The book is intended for researchers and students in disability studies, but will be of relevance to all those interested in reporting on the living conditions of disabled people.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This open access book offers a comprehensive review of the deinstitutionalisation process in the Nordic countries and its long-term developments from 1960 to 2020. Challenging the popular idea of deinstitutionalisation as a mission accomplished in this region, it heralds discussion about how the relocation process has unfolded and what consequences it has had for people with intellectual disabilities in practice. It presents a compelling narrative of the history and the current status of services for people who moved out of institutions to live in the community and discusses to what extent the intentions have been achieved.Retracing the conceptualisation of normalisation in the 1960s and the new wave of deinstitutionalisation in Norway and Sweden in the 1980s and 1990s, this collection discusses how dismantling of institutions came to the forefront of the political agenda. It scrutinises the drivers of change in policies and practices for persons with intellectual disabilities, exploring changing ideologies, political goals, and service developments in the context of more general policy developments in the Nordic region. Leading experts in the field unveil the complex dynamics between ideologies, policies, practices, and contexts to challenge and reconsider lessons learned in the past fifty years from the Nordic experience. A must read for students and researchers interested in disability studies, intellectual disability, social policy, social work, special care nursing, rehabilitation, as well as professionals, policymakers and stakeholders.
