Bringing together key issues in the provision and use of caring
services, this volume is an invaluable training resource for health
and social work practitioners. Roles and relationships are central
themes: their complexity is stressed, as is their relevance to a
better understanding of practice. The book's first three sections
explore: the distinctions between health and welfare occupations,
and informal helping roles; different approaches for practitioners
to develop sensitivity to diverse experiences and to challenge
unfairly discriminatory responses, attitudes and stereotyped
assumptions; and the potential for user empowerment, given the
imbalance in power between workers and users. These areas provide
practitioners with sources for reflection in the final section.
This unique collection encompasses both personal accounts and
important current debates. It blends research with practice, and
experience with academic insight. Throughout, readers are
encouraged to make links across occupational divides and to
challenge traditional assumptions. The volume is a Course Reader
for the Open University course Roles and Relationships:
Perspectives on Practice K663.
