Citizenship Social Work with Older People Zusammenfassung

Citizenship Social Work with Older People Malcolm Payne (Emeritus Professor, Manchester Metropolitan University)

Social work and social care services should treat older people as citizens with the same humanity and rights as every other citizen. That means services of all kinds engaging older people in a fulfilling, creative life in the mainstream of each community. Informed by a wide international literature, Malcolm Payne, a leading social work author, develops a critical and creative social work practice focused on social inclusion to achieve a high quality of life for all older people and explores how advance care planning allows older people to influence the space they live in and the quality of care that they need, and support at the end of life. He shows how integrated services can provide a secure place for older people, with opportunities for personal development and creativity in their lives and that groupwork should be a crucial part of any service to facilitate mutual support and advocacy for older people and their carers. This clearly written and well-structured textbook uses case examples and reflective points to illustrate concepts and will be essential reading for all social work students.

Citizenship Social Work with Older People Bewertungen

This book strikes a new chord in social work. The approach will engage many different people. Pause and reflect breaks make the text both accessible and meaningful. Jan Fook, Dalhousie University, Canada It provides a stimulating and broad international perspective on a range of ideas and services relevant to citizens of an older generation. Janet Bardsley, Journal of Ageing and Society It is refreshing to read a book for social work practitioners that does more than explain contextual policies and values but also suggests strategies for effective practice (including psychodynamic approaches) that practitioners can readily adopt. European Journal of Social Work. Particularly strong on the value base relating to work with older people, because of its coverage of ageism, citizenship, inclusion and dignity Paul Mansfield, University of Lincoln Articulate, informed and critical, this book will be a good read for student and practicing social workers. Malcolm Payne has empathy with his subject but not sentimentality. His case studies are reflective and readable. Jill Manthorpe, King's College London This comprehensive, optimistic and engaging book is an invaluable resource. Using thought-provoking case studies and reflective pauses, Malcolm Payne challenges ageist practice, giving helpful pointers for creative, critical practice at individual and community levels. Karen Postle, Independent Practice Educator
