This book offers a comprehensive evaluation of community care
strategies within the context of government social policy, and
assesses the recent shifts of political power from Conservative to
Labour towards the end of the century. Unlike the majority of texts
in the field of community care, it makes explicit the historical,
philosophical, social and political inter-connections, and
therefore provides an in-depth understanding of changing policy
issues for students, practicioners and managers in health and
social care.

The idea of human nature is centuries old. Yet epithets like 'human
greed', 'natural inequalities' and 'you can't change the world'
still underpin discussion in everyday life as well as in the
academic arena. Human Nature Debate challenges the fixity of such
notions and argues that the manifestations of the human nature idea
are socially and politically - rather than philosophically -
grounded. The book's scope is wide, spanning the social science
disciplines and, unlike other texts in the field, incorporates
everyday social and political examples into the academic. Cowen
demonstrates how theories of human nature must be related to their
intellectual, historical and social roots by analysing biological,
psychological and social models, assessing the impacts of
Freudianism, behaviourism, existentialism and Marxism upon social
theory, policy and caring professions, and evaluating the political
significance of racist and sexist accounts. The book covers the
issues of women and human nature and feminist critiques and
acquaints the reader with a variety of social thinkers.
