  • Law, Rights and Disability

    Jessica Kingsley Publishers Law, Rights and Disability

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis comprehensive volume assesses the relationship between legal rights and disability and the effect of law, legal process and third party professional intervention on the lives of people with disabilities. Stressing the crucial role played by disabled people themselves in fulfilling the promise of the worldwide rights movement, the chapters examine this relationship across a variety of themes, stressing the legal elements of each issue, and the extent to which law can assist in strengthening individual rights in that area. The contributors, who are all either academics or other professional experts in their field, write in a jargon free accessible style. The volume will be of interest to lawyers, human rights activists, health care professionals and to disabled people generally.The main areas covered in the volume are:* new perspectives on working in partnership with disabled people;* the changing attitudes to the rights of people with disabilities across the globe;* improvements to the rights of disabled people through legal process, using national and international law;* an examination of the rights and entitlement of disabled people to community care, housing, employment, education, and special services for children;* disabled people and mental health law;* messages from disability research for law, practice and reform implications for research.Trade ReviewThe focus on law in context is to be greatly welcomed, especially in relation to a wider international framework... this book should be included on booklists for students in social work since it addresses disability and the law more widely than conventional legal texts and therefore fills an important gap in the literature. -- Social Work EducationThis book describes the law relating to the rights of people with disabilities as defined in international, European and UK law. However, it does much more than this. It sets these rights and laws in the context of a social model of disability, where the impairment becomes disabling as a result of the barriers in society which limit participation in day-to-day activities. These barriers can be physical, financial or attitudinal. This is linked with a rejection of the medical model, where the focus on the physical or intellectual limitations is believed to lie within the individual. -- Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists BulletinI found this book to be impressive in its comprehensive coverage, in its ability to address very real and current issues and in the way that it is unafraid to address bad practice. I would thoroughly recommend this book to health and social work practitioners and to students. -- The British Journal of Developmental DisabilitiesThis book describes the law relating to the right of people with disabilities as defined in international, European and U.K. law. However it does much more than this. It sets these rights and laws in the context of a social model of disability, where impairment becomes disabling as a result of the barriers in society which limit participation in many day-to-day activities. The book is aimed at social and healthcare professionals and cites research throughout showing that many within this group still hold attitudes, which restrict rather than enable participation. It is interesting background reading and useful to have as a reference for times when we need access to information about our clients' rights. -- BulletinThis book sets out to assess the effect of law, legal process and third party professional intervention on the lives of people with disabilities. Stressing the crucial role played by disabled people themselves in fulfilling the promise of the worldwide rights movement, the volume stresses the extent to which law can assist in strengthening individual rights. -- ELPIThis text takes a very comprehensive look at the relationship between legal "rights" and disability, and the effects of the law and the legal process on people with disabilities. As well as taking into account the role of people with disabilities themselves, rather than just the professionals and third parties involved in securing justice for disabled people, the various chapters in the book address a variety of key themes. These include: "working in partnership" with disabled people, and the interventions care and other agencies engage in; changing attitudes towards disability; specific areas of "rights" to community care, housing employment, education, and special services in response to needs; mental health law; and the research into law, practice, and reform programmes. -- Welfare BenefitsTable of ContentsPreface, Jeremy Cooper. 1.

    Book SynopsisParental mental health problems and substance misuse affect a significant number of families. This handbook provides practitioners with early intervention techniques and effective support strategies for ensuring the best outcomes for these vulnerable families.Featuring pointers, models and practice examples, A Practical Guide to Early Intervention and Family Support considers the concept of resilience and effective family support. Assessing the policy context and possible barriers to support, it looks at assessment of need, safeguarding children, minimising negative impact, and most importantly, keeping families together where possible. Drawing on key research on the risks and impacts, this book demonstrates the need for a unified approach from a range of adult and children's services. This third edition has been fully updated to reflect developments in policy and services. Essential reading for all professionals who are involved in providing services to families, it will also be of interest to service commissioners and those with an academic interest in what helps to support children and families in these circumstances.Trade ReviewThis handbook has been designed to meet the needs of practitioners across a wide range of agencies, including of course local authorities, and it should help those working in these complex circumstances to translate the concept of resilience into practice reality. It provides models, frameworks and crucially real examples in order to assist professionals in their task of helping families with complex needs to better meet their children's needs. -- From the Foreword by Allison O'Sullivan, President of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services and Director of Children’s Services in KirkleesThis thoughtful, well-researched and practical book makes a robust contribution to the literature in this complex area of practice. The range of approaches and interventions discussed - illustrated by practice examples from a range of sources - will assist a wide range of professionals to work more effectively together to assess and support families affected by parental mental health and substance misuse, while ensuring that children's voices are heard and their needs never get lost. -- Dr. Brynna Kroll, Co-author of Parental Substance Misuse & Child Welfare, Independent Trainer & Consultant and Parenting Assessor with Somerset’s Family Assessment & Support TeamTable of ContentsList of Practice Examples.

    Book Synopsis'[It] manages to be funny, moving, activist, and challenging.' Harriet Minter, TalkRadio'I loved this book - I thought it was really interesting' Jane Garvey, BBC Radio 4 Woman's HourHealth Visiting is one of those professions that most people think is a bit of a non-job. 'You just sit on sofas and drink tea, don't you? It's not like you're a real nurse, in hospital.'Well, Health Visitors are real nurses, with at least three years' training, and they are out there, on their own. No back-up team or support structures to call for help if they're in a dicey situation. No warm lights, tea breaks spent chatting in the canteen, nobody else to ask, 'is this okay, what do you think?'Over 40 years working in the NHS, Rachael Hearson has been chased down an isolated stairwell by crack-fuelled drug-addicted pimps, threatened by a knife-wielding wife-beater in a hostel, unwittingly visited a brothel...And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

    Oxford University Press Essex Pauper Letters 17311837

    5 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe immensely rich archives emerging from the parochial administration of the English poor law before 1834 include letters to the overseers of the poor that came from the poor themselves. As personal testimonies of people claiming relief, which are often written in a stunningly ''private'' tone, pauper letters allow deep insights into the living conditions, experiences and attitudes of the labouring poor in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Some 750 of these pauper letters, all those presently known to survive in the county of Essex, are contained in this volume. The historical apparatus draws on material from other sources (overseers'' correspondence, overseers'' accounts and vestry minutes), to put the letters in context. The documents reveal the strong belief of the poor in their right to relief, and their surprisingly powerful position in negotiating their case with the overseers.The Introduction demonstrates the immense importance of this largely neglected sourceTrade ReviewSokoll is the first historian to have used pauper letters on a large scale ... The editing is excellent and scrupulous and the production is a model of its kind ... Dr Sokoll has produced a number of most interesting publications and in doing so can only be encouraged to continue mining these histories. * London Journal *This is a most valuable collection, which takes us as close to the 'voices of the poor' as we are ever likely to get, and provides an invaluable tool for both teaching and research. * Local Population Studies *... this is a wonderfully high quality edition of all of the 758 Essex pauper letters extant from the period of the Old Poor Law, dating from 1731 to 1837. * Local Population Studies *Breaks new ground ... Archivists and local historians in Essex must feel gratified that so distinguished a volume has been devoted to their county ... fine example of innovative scholarship. * Journal of the Society of Archivists *Dr Sokoll is to be congratulated on his pioneering work, while his publishers deserve the highest praise for such a handsome book. * Local Historian *The letters have been edited with the greatest expertise by Sokoll, and all poor-law historians will be in debt to him for such a magisterial work. * The Economic History Review *This is a quite exceptional editorial achievement, which deserves the very highest praise. The result is an extraordinarily illuminating book, that brings into sharp relief the lives of the labouring poor and their social relationships. * The Economic History Review *This valuable book has been exceptionally well edited by Sokoll ... Nothing like this exists in print, and so the book is a very welcome addition to the literature ... The 758 letters are printed as written and as such they represent an enormous resource and insight into the minds, expressions, and activities of the labouring poor. This is the ultimate in 'history from below'. * The Economic History Review *Thomas Sokoll and his research assistant have performed a very thorough and painstaking task in rescuing those missives from the Essex overseers' records, in organising them, and providing indexes, explanatory notes and a clear introduction to the volume ... This is a resource of considerable importance to social and economic historians. * English Historical Review *

Like so many Americans, neither Marcella nor her husband, Dave, had health insurance. Using Marcella and Dave's situation as a case in point, the author reveals the system's many shortcomings.Trade Review"This is a remarkable, astonishing book, at once a comprehensive reference on the American social welfare system and an engaging narrative account of how social assistance programs shape real people's lives. Campbell is authoritative and scholarly, yet warm and personal-a rare combination one sees in the likes of Oliver Sacks and Barbara Ehrenreich." (Deborah A. Stone, Dartmouth College)"

    Book SynopsisAs the demand for blood and organs has grown, the value of a system that depends solely on gifts has been called into question. This title offers a fresh perspective on this ethical dilemma, by examining the social organization of blood and organ donation in Europe and the United States.Trade Review"In Last Best Gifts, Kieran Healy offers a timely, sophisticated, and original analysis of the complex organizational terrain of blood and organ donation. In doing so, he unpacks the crucial role that organizations and institutions play in creating the contexts for, and the meanings of, giving. His analysis suggests that the relationship between gifts and commodities, between giving and selling, is more complex than many scholars acknowledge." - Wendy Espeland, Northwestern University"

  • Making Social Welfare Policy in America  Three

    The University of Chicago Press Making Social Welfare Policy in America Three

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisAmerican social welfare policy has produced a health system with skyrocketing costs, a disability insurance program that consigns many otherwise productive people to lives of inactivity, and a welfare program that attracts wide criticism. Making Social Welfare Policy in America explains how this happened by examining the historical development of three key programsSocial Security Disability Insurance, Medicare, and Temporary Aid to Needy Families. Edward D. Berkowitz traces the developments that led to each program's creation. Policy makers often find it difficult to dislodge a program's administrative structure, even as political, economic, and cultural circumstances change. Faced with this situation, they therefore solve contemporary problems with outdated programs and must improvise politically acceptable solutions. The results vary according to the political popularity of the program and the changes in the conventional wisdom. Some programs, such as Social Security Disability Insurance, remain in place over time. Policy makers have added new parts to Medicare to reflect modern developments. Congress has abolished Aid to Families of Dependent Children and replaced with a new program intended to encourage work among adult welfare recipients raising young children. Written in an accessible style and using a minimum of academic jargon, this book illuminates how three of our most important social welfare programs have come into existence and how they have fared over time.
