These are America's most vulnerable citizens, and they often suffer for years, while remaining largely invisible to the greater world. Written from the inside of APS, Mark Mehler's memoir of his seven years as a crisis case manager reveals a world that very few people see, and addresses why and how people do this work, what they take away from it and the price that they pay to do it. Ranging from horrifying to uplifting and bizarrely funny, the stories recounted here witness human frailty and disaster, and the efforts of some dedicated caseworkers to stem that tide."-Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Mehler, Mark, $d 1948- 650 0 $a Social workers $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Older people $x Care $z United States. 650 0 $a People with disabilities $x Care $z United States. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Human Services. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Older people $x Care. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01199096 650 7 $a People with disabilities $x Care. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01057251 650 7 $a Social workers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01123585 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526015529.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A40B4156FFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
