The Body in Health and Social Care by Julia Twigg
Focusing on health and social care, this book shows how important the body can be to a range of issues such as disability, old age, sexuality, consumption, food and public space. Twigg illustrates how constructions of the body affect how we see different social groups and explores the significance of it in the provision and delivery of care.
'..the book is a treat to read and is destined to be essential reading for students and anyone else with a serious interest in advancing our understanding of the operation of social care and health services.' - Michael Fine, Ageing& Society
