Disability ▼ Disability Rights and Wrongs Tom Shakespeare, Newcastle University, UK ‘Tom Shakespeare has produced a work of mature scholarship that advances our thinking about the fundamental issues in Disability Studies. The clarity and balance of his argument challenges others to raise the level of discourse in the field. Disability Rights and Wrongs is a must read.’ - Gary L. Albrecht, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA
‘Galileo was roundly condemned for daring to question the orthodoxy of the day, even though he was right. Tom Shakespeare also challenges orthodoxy concerning disability theory and studies. No cow is sacred and as a result this book will be controversial. But his arguments demand consideration and deep thought. If you read only one book on disability rights this year, make this the book.’ - Bert Massie, Disability Rights Commission, UK
This stimulating and accessible book challenges orthodoxies in British disability studies, promoting a new conceptualization of disability and fresh research agenda. It is an invaluable resource for researchers and students in disability studies and sociology, as well as professionals, policy makers and activists. Selected Contents: 1.

NEW Disabled People and the Right to Life The Protection and Violation of Disabled People’s Most Basic Human Right Edited by Luke Clements, Cardiff University, UK and Janet Read, University of Warwick, UK The most basic of human rights, the right to life, is the focus of this book. ‘Human rights’ has increasingly come to be seen as a significant framework, both to aid understanding of the experiences of those who face oppression, and to underpin social, legal and political measures to counter it. Disabled People and the Right to Life uses this framework to explore how disabled people’s right to life is understood in different national contexts and the ways in which they are – or are not – afforded protection under the law, emphasizing the social, cultural and historical forces and circumstances which have promoted disabled people’s right to life or legitimated its violation. This truly interdisciplinary book will be of interest to students and researchers of disability, law, social policy and human rights.

Disability ▼ Meeting the Needs of Children with Disabilities
Overcoming Disabling Barriers
Families and Professionals Facing the Challenge Together
Edited by Len Barton, Institute of Education, University of London, UK
Edited by Helen K. Warner, Royal Victoria Hospital, UK
Series: Education Heritage
This textbook provides the reader with an insight into the needs of children with both physical and learning disabilities, particularly within an acute care setting. It considers the principles that underpin the fundamental aspects of care delivery to children with special needs. The key areas of knowledge and practical skills covered include: • the social and historical context • challenging assumptions • best practice for giving news to parents • communication methods • play and movement • nutrition and feeding • boundary setting • respite care • transitions into adult services. This interesting book covers practice areas identified by the English National Board as essential for student nurses. It will also be invaluable for qualified nurses and for other health professionals working with children with disabilities.
This book provides a valuable route map to the development of thinking in disability studies over the last eighteen years. It includes over twenty essential articles from the journal Disability and Society, written by many of the leading authors in the field from the UK, the USA, Australia and Europe. Compiled by the current editors of the journal, it is divided into three sections which mirror the three central themes: • disability studies – clearly illustrates the debates and challenges that have emerged within the field over the last two decades • policy – offers a snapshot of social policy that has impinged on the lives of disabled people in many parts of the world • research issues – reveals the inequalities between disabled and non-disabled people and the advocacy of new methods and research practices. The editors’ specially written introduction to each section contextualizes the selection and introduces students to the main issues and current thinking in the field. Altogether this book is a rich source of ideas and insights covering conceptual, theoretical, empirical and cross-cultural issues and questions.

Law and Ethics at the Beginning and End of Life Sheila McLean, University of Glasgow, UK and Laura Williamson, University of Glasgow, UK
Edited by Paul Kennedy, University of Oxford, UK
This book explores legislation intended to protect the interests of people with disabilities or impairments. Considering a broad range of ethical and legal concerns which arise in issues of life, death and disability, it covers the social and legal responses to the equality rights of disabled people, focusing on those responses to the right to life; the end of life and assisted suicide. This work engages with contemporary debates, examines case studies and explores the problems surrounding many legal concepts within the context of disability and impairment. The authors argue that it is crucial to distinguish between unjust discrimination and differential treatment and unify the disagreements surrounding the issues by highlighting ethical ideals that should be shared by all stakeholders in life and death decisions that impact on people with disabilities. Topical and contemporary, this book is a perfect supplementary text for students of all levels and researchers working in the areas of law, applied ethics and disability theory.

Psychological Management of Physical Disabilities
NEW 4-VOLUME SET
Major Themes in Health and Social Welfare Edited by Nick Watson, University of Glasgow, UK Disability Studies is a relatively new area of academic thought, emerging in its current form in the early 1990s. It is, by its nature, broad ranging and has seen a rapid expanse in scholarly research. It is an international development or movement, with active organizations of academics in Britain, the United States, Canada, the Nordic countries, and Australasia. This new title in the Routledge series, Major Themes in Health and Social Welfare, meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of the subject’s rapid evolution – and the accompanying explosion in research output. With a general introduction newly written by the editor, this fourvolume collection brings together cutting-edge and canonical research from the field of Disability Studies and makes available, in one ‘mini library’, core readings across a wide range of policy arenas, including education, housing, employment, health, social care, leisure, and recreation. It will be welcomed by students new to the field and will also be an invaluable resource for scholars and other researchers in the area.
The successful integration of psychological factors into the management of physical disabilities is critical to successful health-care delivery. This book provides a comprehensive and accessible guide to the best practice and approaches in this field. Paul Kennedy brings together contributions from a range of experienced researchers and practitioners, who explore the emotional, motivational and psychological factors associated with the rehabilitation and treatment of people with a range of physical disabilities, including spinal cord injury, stroke, and chronic pain. The book is divided into three sections, covering: • the scope of psychological processes in physical rehabilitation • psychological applications and practitioner perspectives • general organizational challenges and developments. The Psychological Management of Physical Disabilities will be of great interest to all clinical psychologists, health psychologists, occupational therapists, counsellors, physiotherapists, physicians and rehabilitation nurses. Service providers know how important psychological factors are. This book explains why and how psychological models and research can support rehabilitation and improve individual well-being.

The Cultural Politics of the Paralympic Movement
NEW
David Howe, Loughborough University, UK Series: Routledge Critical Studies in Sport
Expansion of the Paralympic Games has to some extent mirrored expansion of the mainstream Olympics and the event now constitutes an internationally significant sporting festival. This book examines the development of the Paralympics and asks whether we are justified in describing the Games as a vehicle for the empowerment of the disabled community. A highly successful paralympian athlete in his own right, David Howe uses ethnographic research methods to investigate the economic, social, cultural and political processes shaping the Paralympic movement on a local and global scale, and develops a new theory of the relationship between sport, the body and the culture of disability. By critiquing contemporary attitudes to disability within sport and within society more generally, and by challenging the orthodox view of the Paralympics as a vehicle for empowerment, this book raises important questions and debates crucial to the study of sociology and sports studies.

Series: International Studies in Physical Education and Youth Sport
A Systems Approach to Childhood Disability
Improved awareness of issues of equity and inclusion in physical education has raised the profile of young disabled people’s access to and experience of physical education. There is increasing pressure on PE teachers and youth sport workers to have a better understanding of young disabled people’s sports and physical activity needs. Disability and Youth Sport aims to challenge thinking about disability and youth sport and therefore serve as a catalyst to stimulate progressive dialogue and debate in this area. The text, containing contributions from international researchers in the field, reviews the evolution of our current policies and reflects on the sports experience of young disabled people and the physical education professionals who work with them, examining: • attitudes to disability, physical education and youth sport • impacts of policy developments on sport pedagogy • experiences of young people, teachers and coaches. This collection offers a truly deep and broad perspective for analysis by drawing on literature from disability studies, special educational needs (SEN), sports pedagogy, physical education and the sociology of sport.

An Introduction Nigel Thomas and Andrew Smith, Chester University, UK This book fills a need for a critical examination of disability sport, in the context of growing media coverage and academic interest. Providing a sound introduction to the central issues and exploring the complexities involved in an inclusive approach to disability sport, this text brings together perspectives from sociology, philosophy of sport and politics and considers the complex relationships between them. Outlining and questioning key concepts, theories and terms, this book ultimately concludes that if we are to understand and explain how disability sport operates, we must develop a more detached analysis of its role. Selected Contents: Introduction 1. Key Concepts and Theories in Disability Sport 2. Sport Policy and Disability Policy: The Making of Disability Sport Policy 3. The History, Emergence and Development of Disability Sport 4. The Administration and Organisation of Disability Sport: NGB Case Studies 5. Physical Education and Youth Sport 6.

‘For nearly 20 years, the scholarship and keen insight of Seligman and Darling have informed and guided my work as a clinical psychologist with families of children with disabilities, as well as my own family life with a child who has autism. This third edition is a tour de force of breadth and depth in its summaries of research and theory and their real-life applications. It is truly an essential and comprehensive resource for practitioners and researchers, and an excellent text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in special education, social work, psychology, family studies, and pediatric specialties.’ - Robert A. Naseef, in Private Practice, Philadelphia, USA
Now in a revised and expanded third edition, this popular clinical reference and text provides a multisystems perspective on childhood disability and its effects on family life. The volume examines how child, family, ecological, and sociocultural variables intertwine to shape the ways families respond to disability, and how professionals can promote coping, adaptation, and empowerment. Accessible and engaging, the book integrates theory and research with vignettes and firsthand reflections from family members. Selected Contents: Part 1: Conceptual Framework.

Mental Health ▼ The End of Stigma?
NEW
Gill Green, University of Essex, UK Centred on an analysis of a range of inter-related studies of illness and stigma conducted in recent years, this book makes a groundbreaking and timely contribution to understanding the roots of contemporary experiences of stigma. The postmodern era has been identified by sociologists as a time of fracturing and diversity in Western social development. Behaviour, lifestyle and identity are no longer the results of mass-production by social class and nation, but increasingly the quirky and unique eccentricities of the individual as consumer, reflexive citizen and free agent. Memorably, this process was characterized by Fukuyama as ‘The End of History’, as there is no longer the cultural space for the large-scale ideological battles of the pre-modern age. This book takes Fukuyama’s notion and examines contemporary challenges to the stigma associated with chronic illness. Award-winning author Gill Green examines the cases of HIV, multiple sclerosis and mental illness, including substance misuse, to provide new insights into stigma in health – an issue that is of contemporary concern in the areas of medical sociology and health studies. Selected Contents: Introduction: Setting the Scene 1. Stigma, Chronic Illness and Post-Modernity 2. Citizens, Users, Consumers and Patients 3. HIV – The Quintessential Stigma Experience of the Twentieth Century 4. Drug Therapies and Control of HIV – A Technological Challenge to Stigma 5.

Mental Illness and the Body Beyond Diagnosis Louise Phillips, City University, London, UK Using real life case studies of people experiencing mental illness, this book identifies how bodily presentation of patients may reflect certain aspects of their ‘lived experience’. With reference to a range of theoretical perspectives including philosophy, psychoanalysis, feminism and sociology, Mental Illness and the Body explores the ways in which understanding ‘lived experience’ may usefully be applied to mental health practice. Key features include: • an overview of the history of British psychiatry including treatments • an analysis of feminism and the way its insights have been applied to understanding women’s mental health and illness • in-depth interviews with four patients diagnosed with mental illness • an outline of Freudian and post-Freudian perspectives on the body and their relevance to current mental health practice. Mental Illness and the Body is essential reading for mental health practitioners, allied professionals and anyone with an interest in the body and mental illness.

Responding to Men in Crisis Brian Taylor, former Community Development Worker and Activist, UK Responding to Men in Crisis is based on new research looking at gendered assumptions about rationality and men’s mental health. It looks at postmodern theory in relation to masculinities and madness, and discusses key contemporary debates in political uses of risk, dangerousness and so on. The author relates this to a discussion of current policy and practice responses to men within the mental health system. It offers the reader a theoretical exploration of a topically and politically sensitive issues and is relevant to service user involvement and survivor movements. 2005: 234x156: 304pp Hb: 0-415-34650-9 ISBN13: 978-0-415-34650-4: £75.00

Mental Health Issues and the Media
Evidence-Based Practice
An Introduction for Health Professionals
Colin Pritchard, University of Southampton, UK
Gary Morris, Leeds University, UK
In Mental Health Social Work, Colin Pritchard draws on his many years of experience in research, teaching and practice in order to explore key issues for social workers who want to work in the mental health field. Mental health social work can be one of the most rewarding and one of the most frustrating areas of social work practice. Social workers need to have a good knowledge of interventions and their evidence bases, from pharmacology to psychotherapy, but also be able to work sensitively and effectively with both clients and carers in a rapidly changing context. Based on a series of case studies and research based practice, the book explores key topics including: • the multiple factors affecting mental health • the bio-psycho-social model of practice • key areas including depression, suicide, schizophrenia and personality disorder • the mental health child protection interface • residential work • treatment modalities. Presenting new and challenging research findings in this field, this book will be invaluable reading for undergraduate social work students and for practising social workers.
Mental Health Issues and the Media provides students and professionals in nursing and allied professions, in psychiatry, psychology and related disciplines, with a theoretically grounded introduction to the ways in which our attitudes are shaped by the media. A wide range of contemporary media help to create attitudes surrounding mental health and illness, and for all health professionals, the ways in which they do so are of immediate concern. Health professionals need to: • be aware of media influences on their own perceptions and attitudes • take account of both the negative and positive aspects of media intervention in mental health promotion and public education • understand the way in which we all interact with media messages and how this affects both practitioners and service users. Covering the press, literature, film, television and the Internet, this comprehensive text includes practical advice and recommendations on how to combat negative images for service users, healthcare workers and media personnel.

Theory, Policy and Practice
The authors explore theoretical developments and policy and practice initiatives in the complex and changing area of mental health services. They examine the tensions, dilemmas and opportunities now operating, including those relating to gender and ethnicity and places the involvement of users/survivors centre stage. Identifying and discussing the tensions between different professional models, varying ‘social’ perspectives and political imperatives, the book explores how these tensions are manifested in practice. An important theme running throughout is the critical appraisal of perspectives concerning gender, ethnicity and sexuality, drawing out wider issues of power and inequality. This book makes ideas and theoretical policy material accessible and applicable, and is a key text for students and practitioners in mental health, social work and social care. 2005: 234x156: 160pp Hb: 0-415-32845-4 ISBN13: 978-0-415-32845-6: £70.00 Pb: 0-415-32846-2 ISBN13: 978-0-415-32846-3: £22.99
Contesting Psychiatry Social Movements in Mental Health Nick Crossley, University of Manchester, UK Series: Critical Studies in Health and Society
Resistance and social movements in mental health have been important in shaping current practice in both mental health and psychiatry. Contesting Psychiatry, focusing largely on the UK, examines the history of resistance to psychiatry between 1950 and 2000. Building on the author’s extensive research, the book provides an empirical account and exploration of the key features including: • an account of the key social movements and organizations who have contested psychiatry over the last fifty years • the theorization of resistance to psychiatry which might apply to other national contexts and to social movement formation and protest in other medical arenas • the exploration of theories of power in psychiatry. Original and provocative in its approach, this book offers a new sociological perspective on psychiatry. 2005: 234x156: 240pp Hb: 0-415-35416-1 ISBN13: 978-0-415-35416-5: £80.00 Pb: 0-415-35417-X ISBN13: 978-0-415-35417-2: £22.99

Mental Health ▼ Psychoanalytic Theory for Social Work Practice
Punishment and Madness
Thinking Under Fire
Toby Seddon, University of Manchester, UK
Edited by Marion Bower, The Tavistock Clinic, London, UK
The focus of this book is on the government of prisoners with mental health problems in England and Wales over the last twenty-five years. The wider context and backdrop to the book is the shift to ’late modernity’, which, since the 1970s has seen massive structural change in most Western societies, affecting the social, economic and cultural spheres, as well as the field of crime and punishment. This book investigates whether these profound transformations have also led to a reconfiguring of responses to mentally vulnerable offenders who end up in prison. Specifically, it explores how this group of prisoners has come to be viewed increasingly as sources of ’risk’, requiring ’management’ or containment, rather than as people suitable for therapeutic responses. The book draws on primary research carried out by the author, including interviews with key informants involved in the field during this period, such as former cabinet ministers, senior civil servants, campaigners and academics. In conducting this investigation, the author has developed a method of research which combines and synthesizes different forms of analysis to create a novel approach to socio-historical research.
‘It is an extremely well written and thought-provoking book presenting psychoanalytic perspectives as a basis for social work with children and families in stressful circumstances ... A welcome and instructive book. It can be warmly recommended as excellent value for refreshing theoretical ideas or for CPD purposes! And it really should be required reading for all those with an analytic background who are also teaching in, or working with, individuals or families in health, education or social work settings.’ - Gill Frayn

Current Issues in Adult Learning Disorders
NEW
Edited by Lorraine E. Wolf, Boston University, USA, Hope E. Schreiber, New England Medical Centre, Boston, USA and Jeanette Wasserstein, Mount Sinai Medical School, New York, USA Recent advances in neuroimaging and genetics technologies have enhanced our understanding of neurodevelopmental disorders in adults. The authors in this volume not only discuss such advances as they apply to adults with learning disorders, but also address their translation into clinical practice. One cluster of chapters addresses developmental concerns as children and adolescents with learning disorders approach young adulthood. Experts discuss dyslexia, language-based and writing disorders, perhaps the most widely studied group of learning disorders, from the point of view of neuroimaging and genetic underpinnings. Chapters on the neuroscience of nonverbal, math and executive function disorders are included in this volume, as well. Clinically-oriented chapters with case studies, recommendations for accommodation, and considerations for evaluation follow. Study of specialized populations such as late high school students, college, medical and law students further demonstrate how our expanded knowledge base may be applicable to clinical practice. The heterogeneity of adults with learning disorders, the complexity of their clinical presentation and co-existing disorders are addressed from both a scientific and clinical point of view demonstrating how empirical research and clinical practice inform each other.

Autism ▼ NEW
Defeating Autism A Damaging Delusion Michael Fitzpatrick, Barton House Health Centre, UK
In August 2005, a five-year old British boy with autism died while undergoing chelation therapy in the USA. Chelation is one of a range of ‘biomedical’ treatments based on the theory that autism is caused by environmental toxins, such as mercury, derived from vaccines or other sources. Virtually no scientific authority accepts either that such toxins cause autism or claims that biomedical treatments are effective but biomedical theories of autism can offer a plausible explanation of the supposed ‘autism epidemic’. So, do they work and are they safe? Dr Fitzpatrick, himself the father of an autistic boy, investigates the evidence around a number of supposed causes (toxins, leaky gut and immunity/allergy theories), diagnostic tests (such as looking for measles in the gut) and treatments (diets, hormonal therapies and chelation among others). He concludes that the scientific evidence for biomedical treatments is alarmingly shaky and argues that the way forward lies through the acceptance of our children as they are and in the quest to improve the quality of their lives – a quest in which biomedical treatments are at best a distraction and at worst a danger. This compelling book is essential reading for students and professionals in the world of autism as well as academics concerned with the public understanding of science and the treatment of scientific and medical controversies in the media.

Autism ▼ Constructing Autism
MMR and Autism
Unravelling the ‘Truth’ and Understanding the Social
What Parents Need to Know
Majia Holmer Nadesan, Arizona State University West, USA
Michael Fitzpatrick, Barton House Health Centre, UK
Autism is now considered to be one of the most common developmental disorders today, yet 100 years ago the term did not exist. This book examines the historical and social events that enabled autism to be identified as a distinct disorder in the early twentieth century. The author, herself the mother of an autistic child, argues that although there is without doubt a biogenetic component to the condition, it is the social factors involved in its identification, interpretation and remediation that determine what it means to be autistic. Constructing Autism explores the social practices and institutions that reflect and shape the way we think about autism and what effects this has on autistic people and their families. Unravelling what appears to be the ‘truth’ about autism, this informative book steps behind the history of its emergence as a modern disorder to see how it has become a crisis of twenty-first century child development.
The MMR controversy has been characterized by two one-sided discourses. In the medical world, the weight of opinion is overwhelmingly in favour of MMR. In the public world, the anti-MMR campaign has a much greater influence, centred on the fears of parents that the triple vaccine may cause autism in their children. Both professionals and parents struggle to cope with the anxieties this creates, but find it difficult to find a balanced account of the issues. In MMR and Autism Michael Fitzpatrick, a general practitioner who is also the parent of an autistic child, explains why he believes the anti-MMR campaign is misguided in a way that will reassure parents considering vaccination and also relieve the anxieties of parents of autistic children. At the same time, this informative book provides health care professionals and health studies students with an accessible overview of a contemporary health issue with significant policy implications.

Childhood Autism
NEW
John Lawson, Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge, UK
A Clinician’s Guide to Early Diagnosis and Integrated Treatment
The topic of Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASCs) has received much attention in recent years. This book expands on a new cognitive theory which argues that what we see in autism is an extreme form of a tendency that exists in all people, and furthermore, that this tendency is stronger in males. This is the first book to explore how this inclination towards autism in the general population has shaped the society we live in. The Role of Autism in Shaping Society has three main areas of focus. In the first section, the author looks at the conditions that make up the autism spectrum in terms of characteristics, diagnosis and prevalence. In the second section, he discusses the problematic issue of how we should conceptualize the spectrum, and develops his new theory to provide a more comprehensive explanation of the condition. The final section explores the implications of this new theory on the social structures within which we live our daily lives. This accessible book combines perspectives from psychiatry, psychology, philosophy and sociology to provide one of the most encompassing and enlightening accounts of the autism spectrum to date.

‘The importance of imitation as a fundamental component of social communication, and of its failure in autism, cannot be overstated. This is why imitation is one of the most active research themes in social cognitive neuroscience. The leading researchers in the field have contributed to this volume, which is vital reading for all those currently trying to understand the social mind in both typical and atypical development.’ - Uta Frith, University College London, UK
From earliest infancy, a typically developing child imitates or mirrors the facial expressions, postures and gestures, and emotional behavior of others. Where does this capacity come from, and what function does it serve? What happens when imitation is impaired? Synthesizing cutting-edge research emerging from a range of disciplines, this important book examines the role of imitation in both autism and typical development. Topics include the neural and evolutionary bases of imitation, its pivotal connections to language development and relationships, and how early imitative deficits in autism might help explain the more overt social and communication problems of older children and adults.
