About this book
What obstacles do different groups of patients encounter when negotiating the complex chains of medical and vocational services? Who decides regarding references to specialized treatments, and the provision of comprehensive and coordinated services, and different types of benefits and material support? What is the importance of the resources that patients and caregivers bring to bear in the rehabilitation process?
Reviews
“How to manage the increasing rates of disability is a pressing concern throughout the advanced industrial welfare states. In bringing an interdisciplinary perspective to bear on this issue, this book provides an illuminating distillation of the complex challenges that confront rehabilitation policies and services in Northern European welfare states. The result is a wide-ranging and insightful analysis which advances our understanding of how to address this difficult problem.” (Neil Gilbert, Chernin Professor of Social Welfare, University of California, Berkeley, USA)
