| Summary |
"A welcome addition to the literature in this important area of work, that builds on ... the empirical studies which have illuminated our understanding of the requirements of effective service provision. The final section ... is, in a real sense, a call for action, for all of us in the field and for public officials and 'opinion makers' to respond to the need for 'Social Care' now and in the new millenium."--The foreword by Rose Dobrof, DSW, Brookdale Professor of Gerontology, Hunter College, and James R. Dumpson, PhD, Chairman of Policy Center for Aging, New York Community Trust |
