Disability Studies
A Student's Guide
- Colin Cameron - Northumbria University, UK
Sociology of Health and Illness
An interdisciplinary and broad-ranging text, the book includes 50 chapters on topics relevant across health and social care. Reflective questions and suggestions for further reading throughout will help readers gain a critical appreciation of the subject and expand their knowledge.
This will be valuable reading for students and professionals across disability studies, health, nursing, social work, social care, social policy and sociology.
An essential read for any students studying disability studies.
Covers a wide range of inclusion, exclusion, impairment and disabling issues. Considering concepts from a wide range of areas this book goes beyond education and develops an understanding particularly of social and medical model influences.
This book helps me to develop the content of textbooks on social work with PWD in Vietnamese for undergraduate and postgraduate students. It is also introduced in Vietnam Social Work Network website At http://socialwork.vn. Thanks for your great supports
Ideal for students new to the social aspects of disability
The chapter 'historical Construction of Disability' was excellent and fitted a discussion well.
This will be a useful addition to my reading list for the Concepts of Person Centred Care module in the Foundation Degree Health and Social Care programme.
This text offers an insightful breadth of knowledge and exploration on the issues faced within the disability arena. The reflective questions are great to open up discussion in the classroom. A text for both students and academics to draw upon.
Format is useful for the students to be able to identify key areas for their practice. A very useful book with a great insight into some of the complexities of disability studies
Really well laid out into small chapters which are accessible for students who require an introduction to issues relating to Disabaility Studies.
too specific to course module - acceptable as a brief overview of topics
