Leadership and Change in Human Services (Electronic book text, New ed.)

Professor Wolf Wolfensberger has been a leading thinker, writer and motivator of change in human services for over forty years. In "Leadership and Change," David Race introduces the reader to Wolfensberger's key ideas concerning devaluation, vulnerability, normalization, social role valorization and advocacy, which can then be explored through a series of extracts from his published work. Throughout the selection, the emphasis is on placing Wolfensberger's work in contemporary context and examining its continuing relevance to the underlying values and ideologies of societies and their human services.
