This book argues that examples from research, practice and education provide threads of evidence that orient the student and practitioner to selected theoretical concepts. The book seeks to show how social care workers can use particular approaches to be more effective in practice. Examples are taken from research in older people in residential homes, people with learning difficulties and their families, and the Sure Start programme.
