In this book, Payne illustrates society's inclination to discount and disregard older people and encourages readers to combat their personal biases to improve service care for older adults. Citizenship Social Work with Older People emphasizes the importance of older people being fully recognized as complete members of society (as citizens) by others and particularly by social work practitioners.This book actively challenges current theories of aging that foster ideas about the exclusion of older people, and promotes the idea of older people being considered functional citizens and deserving equal treatment during later stages of life. The author provides readers with many valuable resources including case examples and suggestions for how social workers can change their own ideologies about older people, which further aid practitioners in providing quality care and improving thequality of life of their clients.

Recenzii
Articulate, informed and critical, this book will be a good read for student and practicing social workers. Malcolm Payne has empathy with his subject but not sentimentality. His case studies are reflective and readable.
This book strikes a new chord in social work. The approach will engage many different people. Pause and reflect breaks make the text both accessible and meaningful.
It provides a stimulating and broad international perspective on a range of ideas and services relevant to citizens of an older generation." Janet Bardsley, Journal of Ageing and Society
The ideas presented in this book are certain to expand social workers' scope of practice with older adults locally, nationally, and internationally. The author's citizenship social work perspective will make a valuable contribution as a text in case management, gerontology, policy, direct practice, and human behavior and the social environment courses." -Mercedes Bern-Klug, The Gerontologist, Vol. 53, No. 3
