Key concepts and approaches from Tom Kitwood's work on person-centred care in dementia have gained international recognition and shaped much modern thinking about practice development. This work brings together twenty publications by Kitwood. It is suitable for students of social work or mental health nursing, with an interest in dementia care.

Interest in the contribution narrative makes to other disciplines has been booming in recent years, but its impact in social work has been limited and confined mainly to therapeutic intervention. "Narrative Social Work" is the first book to extend the narrative lens to explore the contribution of narrative to social work values and ethics, social policy, and our understanding of the self in social, cultural, and political contexts. Clive Baldwin argues that narrative is a richly textured approach to social work that can enhance both theory and practice.
