How to Support Integration to Promote Care for People with Multimorbidity in Europe?
1. Integrated care initiatives do not currently focus on multimorbidity, but they can serve as models for services for people with multimorbidity, offering ideas on how to coordinate or customize care and overcome the fragmentation that comes from "disease oriented" systems organized around single medical specialities.2. The practical examples of integrated care for multimorbidity are still in their early phases but it is already clear that implementing integration requires real effort.3. Policy-makers trying to encourage integrated care for multimorbidity need to know that: Primary care is often the most appropriate base for initiatives but must have the full cooperation of specialized care...
Culture, Suicide, and the Human Condition
Suicide is a puzzling phenomenon. Not only is its demarcation problematic but it also eludes simple explanation. The cultures in which suicide mortality is high do not necessarily have much else in common, and neither is a single mental illness such as depression sufficient to lead a person to suicide. In a word, despite its statistical regularity, suicide is unpredictable on the individual level. The main argument emerging from this collection is that suicide should not be understood as a separate realm of pathological behavior but as a form of human action. As such it is always dependent on the decision that the individual makes in a cultural, ethical and socio-economic context, but the context never completely determines the decision. This book also argues that cultural narratives concerning suicide have a problematic double function: in addition to enabling the community to make sense of self-inflicted death, they also constitute a blueprint depicting suicide as a solution to common human problems.
Social Change and Social Work
Social Change and Social Work discusses and examines how social work is challenged by social, political and economic tendencies going on in current societies. The authors ask how social work as a discipline and practice is encountering global and local transformations. Divided into three parts, topics covered include the changing social work mandate throughout history; social work paradigms and theoretical considerations; phenomenological social work; practice research; and gender and generational research. Taken together, the chapters in this anthology provide an authoritative and up-to-date overview of current discussions within the European social work research community.
Experiencing and Protecting Sacred Natural Sites of Sámi and other Indigenous Peoples
This book focuses specifically on the experience and protection of indigenous, and particularly Sámi sacred sites in the Arctic. Sacred sites are being increasingly recognized as important reservoirs of Arctic cultural and biological diversity, as a means for the transmission of culture and identity, and a tool for the preservation of fragile northern social-ecological systems. Yet, legal protection of Arctic sacred sites and related policies are often still lacking or absent. It becomes increasingly difficult for site custodians in the Arctic to protect these ancient sites, due to disruptive changes, such as climate change, economic developments and infrastructural development. With contri...
