This excellent book should be read by policy-makers, service providers and anyone working with or concerned about young people.' - Margaret Chekri, FPA Information Officer. Teenage sexuality, pregnancy and motherhood have become matters of concern in many countries. A variety of both explanations and solutions have been put forward. This book reviews the existing state of knowledge within Britain, the USA and elsewhere. On their first-hand experiences as director of a unit for schoolgirl mothers and sociological researcher, the authors suggest ways of both reducing teenage pregnancies and providing more effective help for teenage mothers.

Elderly people suffering from senile dementia represent one of the most pressing but ill-provided groups for health and social services today. They are frequently neglected, much under researched and provide a major challenge for health and welfare agencies. Hitherto there have been few detailed reports of the problem and how services should respond or be provided. This book begins by reviewing the nature of the problem and then provides detailed data on the whole spectrum of services in a particular locality. The enquiry focuses on two locations: one a city, the other a small town and compares the two. The opinions of different professional groups are reported and a survey of one hundred elderly sufferers reveals the reality behind the assumptions. Overall, the author highlights many of the difficulties in providing a suitable mix of services for this particular client group. This book should be of interest to health planners and policy-makers, health and social service professionals caring for the elderly.
