Biography
Malcolm Payne is Emeritus Professor, Manchester Metropolitan University and Honorary Professor, Kingston University; formerly Director of Psychosocial and Spiritual Care, St Christopher's Hospice, London.
'Challenging current practice models in social work and social care, Payne explores the concepts of citizenship, social work and participative interdependence and skillfully demonstrates how these could – and should – be applied to practice with older people at the end of life. This groundbreaking work is essential reading for practitioners and academics alike.' – Sue Taplin, University of Suffolk, UK
