| Annotation | Social care means different things in each EU country, but three pieces of research raise issues which should inform the practice of all staff. 'Social care in Europe', edited by Brian Munday and Peter Ely (Harvester Wheatsheaf, 1996) points to variations in home care systems. Alan Walker and Tony Maltby, in 'Ageing Europe' (Open University Press, 1997), explain the background to the Eurobarometer survey of public attitudes to ageing and older people; they propose a strategy to promote social integration, based on the concept of 'productive ageing' which could help in containing pension and health care costs. Linda Hunt, Mary Marshall and Cherry Rowlings, in 'Past trauma in later life: European perspectives on therapeutic work with older people' (Jessica Kingsley, 1997) suggest how behavioural difficulties could be resolved if the caring professions paid more attention to older people's traumatic experiences. |
