About this book

This cohesive collection fills a major gap in medical and social history by offering a detailed account of community provision for so-called 'vulnerable adults' in the UK from 1948-2005. It examines key issues such as charity versus rights, the role of the market in care provision and the changing construction of social categories.

Reviews

'...the book's fluent style and coherent arrangement ensure that it will appeal to a wide readership.' - Anne Borsay, Medical History
