| Abstract | "This book analyses contemporary health, care and aging developments in the western world through a conceptual lens that is utilised by innovative postmodern tools and differential theories. In the current socio-economic climate in the UK, for example, health and social care are at a crossroads with implications for how service users needs are being met or not, how assessment encroaches on power and surveillance and the extent to which service users 'voice' is being translated into the health and social care policy and practices. This book is one of the first to develop new perspectives deriving from postmodernism in the application of health and social care policy, theory and practice. The book draws heavily on novel insights from social gerontology as it is older people predominantly who access health and care services; adding a postmodern perspective to understanding health and care"-- Provided by publisher. |
