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 Roger1115168Leamy MaryMiller VinceBright LesMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809710803321Housing Decisions in Later Life4099724UNINA
