I will try and get a copy. I've come across very few support worker
personal accounts, so will be very interested to read this. As for
de-humanising system practices, I have found
Wardhaugh, J & Wilding, P. 1993. Towards an explanation of the
corruption of care
Critical Social Policy (sorry no vol. number)
provides a very useful analysis in respect of the extent to which it
might be possible for workers to exercise individual agency within a
care system.
