Review of Fourth Edition: 'Students are able to engage intellectually with the social model, and this is clearly summarized throughout the chapters with explanation of the historical development. There are specific examples which enable students to start to consider the experience of disabled people. This remains a powerful text which challenges students to address issues of discrimination.' -Jackie Hughes, Senior Lecturer, University of Huddersfield, UK

Previous edition review:

'The book is a 'must have' for students on post qualifying courses, practitioners and social work educators as it is an excellent tool for prompting critical reflection on practice at this level...The authors' discussion of the use of counseling in social work with disabled people is excellent.' - Pauline Noden, Social Policy and Social Work
