Titel der Veröffentlichung: Rehabilitation und Teilhabe

This compendium provides students of social work and those employed in that and other related fields with a clearly structured, practical and illustrative introduction to the complex law on rehabilitation and participation in society. The book explains the meaning of self-determination and equal social participation for people with disabilities, including those who are mentally ill or who suffer from an addiction. Its author demonstrates the significance of the UN’s convention on the rights of the disabled and how the law on participation contributes to social inclusion. She also highlights the areas where that law overlaps with anti-discrimination laws, guardianship laws, care laws, and citizens’ right to have access to housing and public institutions, and provides guidance on how the law can be implemented. The book’s references to court rulings and the mock tests and case studies with solutions which it contains ensure that this book is a highly practical guide to the law on participation.
