Mark Priestley addresses the relationship between the politics of
disability and community care policies. Guided by his direct work
with representatives of the disabled people's movement, he argues
that although the ideas behind social policy and practice have
started to reflect values such as participation, integration and
equality, the current policy and its implementation often undermine
those goals. `Community care' still contributes to the view of
disabled people as dependent and different, thus reinforcing their
social exclusion and marginalisation. Disability Politics and
Community Care encourages health and welfare professionals and
policy makers to start working much more closely with disabled
people themselves. Priestley argues that involving disabled people
in the design and production of their own welfare will break down
the disabling boundary between service `provider' and `user' and
will result in the reality of integrated living. He presents
practical suggestions for the changes necessary for the proposed
reorganisation of service provision which will re-define direct
work with disabled people.
