About this title

Synopsis

Community care has long been the preferred policy for caring for dependent people.

New to this Edition:
- Takes full account of major developments in community care since 1988
- Draws on an eclectic range of feminist, historical and ethnographic sources
- Proposes alternative and collective approaches to caring
