Press reviews for: Working with Carers
Counselling
`There are many reasons why people care for others, and there are many types of caring situations, this book covers all these much neglected areas and provides you with a lot more insight than you may otherwise have had prior to perusing its 160 pages.'
Community Care
`The book includes definitions of caring; a discussion of the impact of caring; information on carers' assessments; information on the services required or preferred by carers; and direct work with carers. Checklists are included at the end of each chapter, which highlight relevant considerations to improve practice. [T]here are specific chapters on young carers, carers of those with mental health problems and parent carers …would be of particular interest to those with limited knowledge …and provide an introduction to these areas.'
CentreVoice, the magazine of the Princess Royal Trust for Carers
`…a good comprehensive guide…I like the emphasis on direct work with Carers and work with Carers taking into account emotions and relationships.'
British Journal of Occupational Therapy
`This is possibly one of the best texts on the market from a practise viewpoint and is an essential purchase for therapists who are attempting to meet the needs of carers in the delivery of services.'
Church Times
`...a handbook for social workers by Christine Heron; but her concern for the political and bureaucratic issues as well as the practical difficulties faced by people looking after mentally ill relatives, or disabled children, makes this book important for anyone concerned about the issues, and able to have some influence in their community.'
