<br/><br/> Empowerment is about people working to gain control over their own lives and about the ways in which others can help or hinder this process. Within the community, this is of paramount importance for people who come into contact with professionals in health and welfare. Empowerment in Community Care addresses this challenging issue from both a theoretical and practical perspective, exploring fundamental theoretical issues necassary for a comprehensive understanding of health and welfare provision, as well as sharing insights into the real life experiences of people currently working in the self-help movement to empower themselves and others. -- from back cover
