Both health care practitioners and health planners are beginning to
recognize the importance of differences between lay and
professional concepts of health and illness. The editors of this
volume, having themselves worked in this field for many years, have
selected and brought together writings by distinguished scholars
from Britain, France, the United States, Germany and Poland. What
impresses most is the range of problems synthesized from a
genuinely international and interdisciplinary perspective. No
reader can fail to be fascinated by the often peculiar ways in
which different societies have tried to cope with the existential
questions of health and illness.
Service users frequently encounter services at times of personal or
family crisis. As a result, all social workers need to be aware of
the impact of loss if they are to work effectively. This book looks
at theoretical developments surrounding issues of change, loss and
grieving, encouraging social workers to explore and reflect on the
relevance of such issues to their own practice. Furthermore, the
book discusses the potential impact of practitioners' own
experiences of loss. Issues are explored with reference to the
Codes of Practice for Social Care Workers, National Occupational
Standards and examples of interdisciplinary working across
contexts.
