Normalisation - A Reader (Paperback)

Normalization, the theoretical framework that underpins the movement of services for people with disabilities from long-stay hospitals, has recently become the focus of much academic and professional attention. As the community care debate has moved into the public arena, it has attracted a certain amount of criticism, acknowledging the political and philosophical conflicts that surround it. "Normalisation" provides an informed appraisal of this controversial practice and combines various perspectives on the subject, including applied behavioural analysis, social policy and psychodynamic approaches. Thus it explores the discrepancies between the ideal and the reality and extends the debate by drawing comparisons, with other political and social ideologies. This book should be of interest to professionals in social work, social policy and administration, students of psychology and all those in health care.
