A  complexity, however, is the fact that this care is divided amongst a  range of professions. This book addresses issues of meaning (meaning  of care and meaning of life) from all the different professional  perspectives involved. Such a multidisciplinary approach is unique and  has never before been followed. \u003cbr\u003e  The book contains the results of a series of interviews in which  parents of people with mental retardation were asked what they  conceive to be meaningful care. The results are placed in relation to  experiences and conceptions of professional caregivers. Moreover, the  study analyzes the cultural, philosophical, and theological  significance of the concept, `meaningful care'. Finally, the book  explores the relevance of this concept for practical professions such  as medical care, social work, educational psychology, pedagogic  counseling, and pastoral care. Scholarly depth is combined with  experiential knowledge of professional practice. Hence, this book is  an outstanding source of reflection for all those who work  professionally with people with mental retardation.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 December 2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9789048154494\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e190\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50804803502220,"sku":"9789048154494","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048154494.jpg?v=1781782553","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789048154494","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
