Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-349-51150-1 1-4039-1287-4 This book examines the processes by which older people make housing decisions and the impact such decisions have on the construction of their lives. Evidence is included from a major three-year research study, where older people told stories of their lives. The authors argue that housing decisions are not necessarily the result of rational, analytical and objective thinking. The contribution of other ways of decision-making is often hidden, as when people think intuitively, act impulsively, or for essentially emotional reasons.Social sciencesSocial policyAgingSocial workSociologyWelfare stateSocial serviceSocial SciencesSocial PolicyAgingSocial WorkPolitics of the Welfare StateSocial CareSociology, generalSocial sciences.Social policy.Aging.Social work.Sociology.Welfare state.Social service.Social Sciences.Social Policy.Aging.Social Work.Politics of the Welfare State.Social Care.Sociology, general.361.61Clough Roger858456Leamy MaryMiller VinceBright LesBOOK9910458726303321Housing Decisions in Later Life2174193UNINA
