Paper discussing the belief that human services, particularly services for people with disabilities, are currently dominated by a "modern formal human services paradigm". Because of some of the assumptions inherent in this paradigm and because of broad societal dislocation, it is argued that modern formal human services operate dysfuntionally and contain elements which are inimical to the interests of both vulnerable people and of society. Provides a critique and analysis of the dominant paradigm and presents an alternative model of service provision.

The authors' research show that not only are service users given freedom and power through these schemes but, as demonstrated by the examples from Greenwich personal assistance costs less than existing services.
