Professional Social Work
“Care has been a popular topic of study and research for
many decades and, as Judith Phillips comprehensively demonstrates,
it remains infinitely researchable ... The book will be useful for
all students and researchers of social policy and social
gerontology.”
Ageing and Society
“Phillips’s book takes a fresh look at the much
debated and researched concept of care. The author not only reviews
current thinking on the subject and what has shaped that thinking
but also provides some interesting new perspectives, illustrated
through a range of real life situations and case studies. This is a
very useful guide to a complex and much discussed topic. It will be
an important resource for students and teachers who are looking for
new ways forward on the subject of care.”
Julia Johnson, Open University
“Care counts at a number of levels. This book
engages the reader in numerous ways by tracking the development of
social care, exploring its relevance to professional practice and
public services and posing a set of questions about its future.
Judith Phillips cogently analyses 'care'. Her volume will be a key
resource for students, researchers and professionals in unlocking
the perplexities of the subject.”
Jill Manthorpe, King’s College, London
