ResourcesLetting In the LightReflections on Leadership, Ethics and Human Services 
by Michael Kendrick $35.00The many topics in this illuminating book argue that there seem to be no good reasons for designing human services so that they reflexively strip people of normative control and influence in their own lives. True quality of service provides the advantage of creating a moral, political and economic agenda that favours service recipients within an ethical framework which permits a more egalitarian relationship between service recipients and service systems, as well as with the broader community.
