Description
An innovative, multi-perspective and international approach to the issues which normalisation entails. Carrying on from the concept of community care, normalisation or integration is about creating the conditions in the individual and society for leading as autonomous and acceptable a life as possible. Based on the right of people with disabilities to an ordinary life, it has extensive implications not just for professionals in the mental health field but for all of us.
