Sommario/riassunto

The relationship between health, social care, and the teaching of disciplines such as sociology, social work, and social policy are increasing in many regions worldwide. This book explores the relationship between wider social theory and social welfare though an understanding of how power and resistance impinges on how helping professions operate in health and social spaces in the twenty-first century. The book presents a critical analysis of major Foucauldian



theories and social issues in the construction and practice of health and social welfare. It discusses important theoretical and substantive contributions to current debates and presents an engaging, comprehensive, and innovative perspective to address both how power and resistance shape the way we live and how the way we live shapes the way in which we understand social relations among professionals, policy makers, and user groups in comparative contexts. The purpose of this book is to critically inform debates concerning the abstract and empirical features of health and social care examined through the lens of innovative theoretical perspectives emanating from Foucauldian theories.

Sommario/riassunto

Five years after the birth of her child and downward spiral of her marriage, Kacie Miller discovers that her daughter, Cristina, was not stillborn as she'd been told. Years later, Kacie is determined to reconnect with her daughter. With a new name and a new look, she gains entrance into her daughter's life through deception. The companion Christopher hired for his daughter reminds him of someone from his past-his missing wife. Although he keeps quiet about recognizing her, Christopher is curious as to why she is using a fake



name and is suddenly so interested in the daughter she abandoned at the hospital. When Kacie and Christopher discover that Christopher's mother is the culprit behind the lies, deception, and chaos of their marriage, love makes it possible to forgive. The spirit of Christmas reunites a mother with her daughter and brings joy, peace, and happiness in the rekindling of what appeared to be a hopeless marriage."
