Social Work with Older People

"This new edition looks in detail at the role of the social worker who engages with older people. It enables the reader to develop the key skills required to understand the mental and physical needs of older people in society while encouraging plenty of discussion and critical, independent thought. Furthermore, this book is a source of contemporary research and offers the reader insights into government legislation and policy. An essential read for any student who wants to develop a distinctive focus on social work with older people."--BOOK JACKET.
