Description
Citizenship Social Work with Older People explores how social work services can treat older people as citizens with equal humanity and rights. Malcolm Payne examines international literature to develop a critical and creative approach to social inclusion, focusing on the importance of advance care planning, integrated services, and groupwork in promoting high-quality lives for all older adults.
Through case examples and reflective points, this textbook illustrates key concepts and highlights the role of groupwork in facilitating mutual support and advocacy for older people and their carers. It provides a clear and structured approach to social work practice with older people, making it an essential resource for students.
