  Hospitals, mental hospitals and childrens homes are just three examples of the type of institution with which this innovative book is concerned. The aim is to provide an integrated, holistic approach to caring in health and social care residential settings.
  
  
  
  The authors provide an overview of all aspects of residential care practice - interpersonal, professional and moral. The historical, political and philosophical dimensions are also discussed to put the issues in a wider context. The emphasis on positive practice is seen in the sections on models of management and interpersonal relationships, achieving better practice and conducting an ethical audit.
