Sanderson, who has worked as an occupational therapist and in social care in the UK and writes about person-centered thinking, planning, and community building, and Lewis, a strategic communications advisor in the UK, demonstrate how staff and students in health and social care can deliver personalized services in all areas to disabled and older people and people with complex needs or long-term health conditions. They describe the context and policy landscape in support of person-centered practice, the history of person-centered thinking and planning, and the underlying values and principles; how to learn and understand the balance between what is important to and for a person, the foundation of person-centered thinking and planning as a range of simple tools, and how to decide which tool to use; the review process and how it differs from traditional reviews, including the care program approach, and planning and support planning; and contributions of person-centered practice to prevention and well-being, helping people self-manage long-term health conditions, recovery, reablement, domiciliary and residential care, and end-of-life care. Discussion of use by managers or organizations is covered in another book, Creating Person-Centred Organisations. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
