Combining critical policy analysis with biographical accounts, this book provides a socio-historical account of the changing treatment of disabled people in Britain from the 1940s to the present day. It explores how public policies and institutional care have influenced the types of life-choices and the opportunities available to people. It also asks whether life has really changed for disabled people. A key strength of the book is how it uses biographical methods in new and critical ways to examine social and historical change over time. Chapters cover: Policy, history and biography; Telling stories; Keeping it in the family; Living with medicine; Learning about life; and Working for a living. Especially relevant for researchers, students and policy makers.
