The use of lifemaps with people who have learning disabilities has
proved particularly effective for a better understanding of their
emotional perceptions and needs. In this book, Barry Gray and Geoff
Ridden have collected twelve biographies written by people of all
ages who have a learning disability. The authors discuss how these
stories might be representative of other people with learning
disabilities and what key themes may be identified from the
stories. Such material has not been well documented in the past and
is particularly appropriate for analysis which is not narrowly
prescriptive.
The pictorial form provides a simple and accessible means of
self-reflection upon significant life experiences for people with
learning disabilities. This flexible and educational tool of
analysis will enable carers to work more closely with their
clients, to ensure that more choice is made available today to
those whose voices have not always been heard. Lifemaps of People
with Learning Disabilities will appeal not only to social workers
and other health care practitioners, but also to families of people
with learning difficulties.
