The book explores central issues such as power, group goals, and
the effects of the environment. It uses as its reference base both
the published literature and examples from case eight studies of
groups run by people from different professional backgrounds... The
discussion of the power relationship between different members of
the group is particularly welcome: user empowerment has become a
neglected area of concern in books on groupwork... For those new to
the field, this is well worth a read.' - Mental Health Today 'The
book includes some insightful material on the need for greater
flexibility in service provision. The book is valuable for pointing
out how much more research and development is still required.' -
Age and Ageing 'This book should be of considerable interest to
social and health practitioners and policy makers.' - Ageing and
Society 'The key question this text addresses is the
appropriateness of community care for elderly people in this
country in the 1990s and beyond... This is a book which provides a
wealth of material drawn from analysis of research and practice. It
seeks not primarily to provide answers, but to articulate the
central questions which point the way to the future agenda for
research.' - Community Care 'This volume achieves two essential
requirements of a worthwhile read - it is informative, and it makes
you think. It is realistic, and well in touch with what is
happening in the field. It expresses a range of doubts and
concerns, but is nevertheless cautiously optimistic for the future,
as long as resources are found.' - Policy Studies Care management
for people with dementia has been the subject of much scrutiny
since the introduction of the community care legislation. The
development and implementation of several models of care management
are discussed in this volume. Drawing together research to
highlight the successes and the difficulties of translating the
principles of care management into practice, it examines this
subject with particular reference to: empowerment; needs-led
assessment; and multi-disciplinary work. The book investigates the
extent to which care management, with its emphasis on user choice
and participation can be successfully applied to older people and
their carers, and identifies key areas for further research and
development in the field.
