Growing up with Parents who have Learning Difficulties
Growing up with Parents who have Learning Difficulties uses a life-story approach to present new evidence about how children from such families manage the transition to adulthood, and about the longer-term outcomes of such an upbringing. It offers a view of parental competence as a social attribute rather than an individual skill, assessing the implications for institutional policies and practices. The authors address the notion of children having to parent their disabled parents and argue for a shift in emphasis from protecting children to supporting families. This innovative book provides a fresh approach to a subject rife with prejudice and challenges us to think again about many taken-for-granted ideas about the process of parenting and the needs of children. It also demonstrates the power of narrative research and its capacity for bringing alive people's experience in a way that enables us to better understand their lives.

Outward Bound
"Current mental handicap policies aim to bring about a shift in responsibility and resources for residential care from large institutions to small homely units. In practice this means closing long-stay wards or complete hospitals and moving the patients out into the community. This book examines the outcome of one such community care programme through the views and feelings of staff, families and the movers involved. It explores the experiences of two groups of people, one of which moved out of long-stay hospitals to take up places in locally based hostels, while the other moved out of hostels into independent living accommodations in the community. Based on the findings of a three year research project funded by the Joseph Rowntree memorial Trust, the book addresses the personal issues and the policy implications of relocating people with learning difficulties in line with the government's plans for community care" -- Back cover.
