Intellectual Disability
"This book has an unusual format, and its intentions and underlying constructions are stimulating.
This is a critical text that should be required reading for all students of health, disability, social medicine, therapy and nursing programmes. At the price, currently £19.99, it represents excellent value for money and is affordable for individual students to purchase."
Learning Disability Practice "This could have been a triumphant book; instead it is a sober one, and far more useful for it … Based on an around-the-world tour of countries where the concepts of normalization and Social Role Valorization have been influential, the book offers a comparative account of the ways these ideas have worked out in seven different national contexts more than thirty years after their introduction."
From the Foreword by John O’Brien, The Centre on Human Policy, Syracuse University, USA "In addition to its useful comparative approach this text demystifies and clarifies a number of complex issues."
