Abstract: "This book is an essential text for social work students and practitioners who wish to work positively and appropriately with disabled people. It reconstructs social work practice in the light of changing economic and political circumstances and promotes the view that an enabling welfare state should be based upon an empowering professional practice and that such a practice within social work must be based on a social model of disability."--BOOK JACKET.
