Abstract

User involvement and critical gerontology are two key concepts and approaches for social work and related services with older people in the early 21st century. Yet, so far exploration of their interrelations seems to be at an early stage. For this reason, the aim of this chapter, to look more closely and critically at the role of user involvement in relation to critical gerontology in a European context, is likely to be both especially timely and productive. The praxis of user involvement is likely to be maximised through a critical gerontological lens and, in turn, critical gerontology is unlikely to fulfil its promise unless united with an in-depth understanding of the theory and practice of participation. The chapter will address user involvement in policy, practice, learning and research and conclude with a case study offering implications for practice.
