Malcolm Payne

Older Citizens and End-of-Life Care (eBook, ePUB)

Social Work Practice Strategies for Adults in Later Life

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this groundbreaking book, Malcolm Payne acknowledges both the common and the special aspects of the citizenship of older people and argues that current models for the provision of social work are inadequate because they incorporate dependency-creating psychosocial values; relying on values that fail to deliver the human rights of citizenship for older people. Failure to recognise the end of life as a crucial parameter in providing social care for older people means that the lessons learned in providing palliative care in health care have not been transferred to social care, and the priorities of end-of-life care have not been adequately encompassed in social work with older people.
