About this book

This book has been substantially revised to take into account the legislative changes since 1983 and the theoretical developments in the field of disability. Whilst continuing to highlight the negative impact of welfare policy on the lives of disabled people, it develops arguments as to how social work can contribute to the removal of disabling barriers and looks at the implications that an anti - disablist practice would have for the education and training of social workers and the management of welfare agencies.
