About the author

Michael Oliver Professor of Disability Studies at The University of Greenwich. Dr Oliver has written extensively on issues related to social work and disability. He is active in the disability movement and a member of the Management Committee of the Spinal Injuries Association.

Summary

This book redefines the issue of disability as a social rather than an individual problem and considers the implications of this view for the provision of services and for social work practice. It looks at the experience of people with disabilities in society, and the influence that their organisations have had on service provision.
