Overview

An overview of community-based practice for the student and novice clinician. The book reviews basic principles, legislation and policy issues and topics related to returning to the community after hospitalization, including accessibility concerns, alternate living arrangements and community re-entry programmes. A variety of settings where community-based practise occurs are described, including community-based work programmes, adult daycare, independent living programmes, hospice and home healthcare. Future directions are evaluated along with the implications for professional education, research and practice roles. Each chapter offers learning objectives, key terms and study questions, and most chapters feature case studies to bring to life the issues under discussion.
