Om udfordringen i at løse komplekse sociale problemer indenfor de offentlige velfærdsområder, med fokus på at effektstyring og evidens må kombineres med fleksible og pragmatisk tilpassede løsninger, der fx giver mulighed for tilpasning til den enkelte borger eller lokale forhold

Om hvordan man kan udvikle styring og fagprofessionel ledelse i en retning, som understøtter en styrket fagprofessionalisme i mødet med borgerne, og hvordan man som fagprofessionel og som leder af fagprofessionelle i højere grad kan balancere behovet for styring og autonomi på socialområdet

Forlagets beskrivelse: ”The New Sociology of Ageing” explores the challenges and opportunities of ageing as a global force. Alongside globalisation, urbanisation, new technology, climate change, and global pandemics, ageing is transforming life in the twenty-first century. Through the eyes of a young sociology student and her multigenerational family, this book sets out a new sociological framework to interpret ageing societies. It explores how the 'New Old' - the baby boomer generation - might be mobilised as an agency of social change in transforming later life. It proposes this generation as the co-architects of a new intergenerational social contract for the era ahead, rather than as the recipients of a post-war twentieth-century social contract that society can no longer support. Taking Britain as a case study and societies across the world as examples, Slattery explores emerging revolutions in work and retirement, potential crises in pensions, healthcare and housing, as well as transformations in family life and in our attitudes to sex and death in later life. This book provides a clear overview of the sociology of ageing. It introduces students to demography as a sociological force of the future, and to the perils and the promises of longevity as societies across the world approach the Hundred-Year Life. This book will be of interest to undergraduate students and early scholars in the social sciences, particularly in sociology, gerontology, social policy, and public health.Forlagets beskrivelse: ”The New Sociology of Ageing” explores the challenges and opportunities of ageing as a global force.

Forlagets beskrivelse: Mennesker med udviklingshandicap har altid befundet sig bagerst i samfundets bevidsthed. Uanset om vi ser dem gennem tidligere tiders forestillinger om Guds straf eller nutidens optagethed af aktivering, så har mennesker med udviklingshandicap altid været hægtet af det almene samfund. Ved hjælp af både historiske og aktuelle perspektiver belyser denne bog de udviklingshandicappedes levevilkår og de politiske holdninger og handlinger, der har bestemt dem. Ideologiske forhold som racehygiejne, liberalistisk samfundsforståelse, manglende anerkendelse og solidaritet har betydet, at vi i dag ser markant ringere levevilkår hos mennesker med udviklingshandicap end hos den øvrige befolkning. Erfaringerne viser, at levevilkårs forbedringer først kommer og slår igennem efter pres nedefra: fra de udviklingshandicappede selv og deres nærmeste, i alliance med de faglige organisationer og med støtte fra frivillige organisationer og idealistiske enkeltpersoner.

Forlagets beskrivelse. Occupational therapy originated in social reform, but early in its history became allied with medicine and a biomedical perspective. Over the last two decades the profession has recognized the value of the work of its pioneers and sought to argue for principles such as occupational justice and occupational balance, social inclusion, and for forms of involvement based in the community which centre on people doing things together. The Editors of this important three volume work show how these ideas are being put into practice internationally. And a seed was planted...’ includes theoretical perspectives, evaluations of projects in practice and education, approaches to working with communities, participatory approaches and research. This, the first volume, looks at theoretical views and shifting perspectives
