Bøger af Julia Twigg

This book examines the work of a major employment group within the health and welfare field. It relates to debates on the body and issues associated with disability, personal space and autonomy and the power of dynamics of care.

The body is central to many of the concerns of public policy. Focusing on health and social care, this book shows how important the body can be to a range of issues such as disability, old age, sexuality, consumption, food and public space. Twigg shows how constructions of the body affect how we see different social groups and explores the significance of the body in the provision and delivery of care.
