Interdependence is a call to action in human services - a prescription for a renewed sense of partnership. Recognizing the limitations of the medical/expert approaches that have dominated the care & treatment of the physically challenged, Interdependence suggests a blending of actions that are rooted in the values of self-esteem & actualized in the community. This powerful presentation explores the goals of human services, how & why the medical/expert paradigm has not done the job, & then introduces the interdependent paradigm as an alternative approach to human service. From the Preface: "Interdependence is about relationships. It is a composite blend of a number of viable concepts into a rational approach to the human elements of devaluation. Built from the works of sociologists, systems analysts, educators, organizers, urban planners, psychologists, politicians, academicians, & some common folk, Interdependence makes practical sence out of the needs of people who are distanced or ostracized from society, or their community...Interdependence is about a reunion of these distanced people to their community." Virtually everyone in the allied human services professions needs to read this book. It offers unlimited opportunities to all who work with the physically challenged today.
