Chronic Illness, Vulnerability and Social Work: Autoimmunity and the Contemporary Disease Experience

by Elizabeth Price, Liz Price, Liz Walker

Whilst the body has recently assumed greater sociological significance, there has been less engagement in social work and social care on the bodily experience of health, illness and disease. This innovative volume redresses the balance by exploring chronic illness and social work, through the specific lens of autoimmunity, engaging in wider debates around vulnerability, resistance and the lived experience of ongoing ill-health.
