Reviews

'This text should be on the reading list of students who intend to work in this important field. It will help them to understand the historical and social contexts in which this specialised area of care has been developed and a qualitative research process that recognises the importance of taking consultation seriously.' - Community Practitioner 'I found the depth of historical content in the book insightful. In addition, the involvement of service users in the research study adds to the ongoing debates surrounding involvement. This book is informative and enlightening and I think its contents are appropriate for those individuals working with adults with learning disabilities, both in practice and at policy and management level.' - Carmel Doyle, School of Nursing and Midwifery, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
