A Single Door

Social Work with the Families of Disabled Children

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1986, this study explores the increased public concern with policies of 'community care' and their effects on informal carers, at that time. It looks at the widespread evidence that one particular group of informal carers- parents looking after their severely disabled child- lack information, advice and a co-ordinated pattern of supporting services.
