More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"It is a well-researched book, supported by quotations from professional literature, from relevant documents and reports, and reference to pertinent statutes and cases...Jane Dalrymple and Beverley Burke have written a well-balanced volume, combining scholarship and research with personal experience, practical example and examination of personal values. It is engaging and interesting as well. I would recommend it as a basic text for practitioners and carers who are concernedto re-examine values underlying their work, and then to link empowering practice to the law." - The Trainers' Professional Voice. "The strength of the book lies in its strong focus on practice and in the emphasis placed upon making links between the personal and the structural, the individual and the collective, intellect and feeling. The authors succeed in bringing alive for the reader a sense of achievable progress through personal contribution." - Community Care. "...the lively style and vivid case material make it a valuable addition to the literature and its socio-legal approach is novel and welcome." - British Journal of Social Work.

Product Description
Praise for the new edition:
"This revised text should be read by all practitioners in health and social care settings who supports people with complex needs and who aim to promote anti-oppressive and person-centred practice.
A variety of activities is presented in each chapter to stimulate readers to reflect on the cases and concepts under discussion. This text represents a valuable companion for professionals involved in learning disability practice."
Learning Disability Practice
"This new edition proves to be a substantial updating of the 1995 edition. The coverage is analytical and clearly related to anti-oppressive practice. It is important to persuade students of the necessity of action to put their values into practice - this book is a real boon and should be required reading up and down the country."
Mark Baldwin, University of Bath.
In the new edition of this bestselling text, the authors challenge the notion that anti-oppressive practice has lost its potency or become commodified into a professional response to inequalities. Retaining a commitment to the principles and values of anti-oppressive practice, discussion about contemporary practice is guided by a critical understanding of personal values and the context of practice.
Some key questions are explored:
- How is anti-oppressive practice relevant in contemporary practice?
- How can the law be used as an empowering tool?
- How can the law be used to develop and inform anti-oppressive practice?
The authors draw on their own experiences and those of practitioners, service users and carers to understand issues of power and oppression, demonstrating how the law can be used to inform the development of critical anti-oppressive practice. The book therefore points the way to practice that is both empowering to service users and ultimately liberating for practitioners.
Anti-Oppressive Practice is an essential text for students, practitioners, lecturers, service users and carers.
