Chronic Illness, Vulnerability and Social Work

Autoimmunity and the Contemporary Disease Experience

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Whilst the body has assumed greater sociological significance, there has been less engagement in social work and social care on the bodily experience of health, illness and disease. This volume redresses the balance by exploring chronic illness and social work in the context of wider debates about vulnerability and resilience.
