| Annotation | This book reviews the changes in service provision for the intellectually disabled in the UK, Scandinavia and the USA in the last 25 years, with the closure of institutions and the move towards community-based services. It discusses the closure process at service and national levels, examines models of community services such as 'supported living' and care in the community, and describes the impact of de-institutionalisation on service users and its effect on their families. |
