  • This is the second book in the Social Work in Theory and Practice series that began with Roger Smith’s ‘Social Work with Young People’ in Sept 08.
  • Stands out from the competition with its focus on the subjective, lived experience of older people and their carers, and how to work with them proactively in the context of human rights and citizenship.
  • Covers work with older people (and their carers) at the individual level, with families and groups, and within the larger community.
  • The author has experience of writing for students and practitioners alike.
  • This fills a distinct gap in the social work student book market: it is aimed at and accessible to students but with a level of sophistication lacking in other very basic books published by Learning Matters.
  • Student-friendly features include: chapter summaries, key lessons, boxed case studies and questions to provoke thought.
