The authors use their research to show powerfully how a generation of social workers have been disillusioned by care management. They also use their own practice experience with older people to demonstrate the continuing possibilities for social work to empower service users and practitioners to develop care management in the future. The book reveals social workers are increasingly bogged down with bureaucracy, leaving them with less time to spend with elderly people. It also highlights funding difficulties, with local authorities unable to afford to spend cash on preventative work.
