Based on case management experience with frail elderly clients, the authors point out how effective case management requires the use of clinical understanding and skills. To successfully link clients to services, psychosocial barriers to the acceptance of services must be addressed. The losses and dependency of old age stir up vulnerabilities and defences which may interfere with the client's support system and the use of services. Using case examples, the authors illustrate how clinical skills are helpful in dealing with clients and families around the painful and difficult issues of old age and the acceptance of dependency and services. Social workers are urged to respect the sophisticated and skilled work of case management.

Social workers regard patient involvement in discharge planning as desirable both from a value and clinical perspective. The value perspective is based on the principle of patient autonomy and self determination and the clinical perspective suggests an association between a sense of environmental control and enhanced physical and mental health. Discusses the levels of family and patient involvement in discharge planning and the factors which complicate the ability of social workers to implement this ideal in practice.
