Beskrivning

Despite its familiarity, the realities of care are both complex and contested. This book offers a unique approach to scrutinising the co-existence of both care and abuse in relationships. It demonstrates ways of increasing critical reflexivity when working with people involved in difficult care relationships. The book emphasises that when talking about care, we need to care about talk.Discourse analysis is introduced as a method of investigating relationships, policy and literature in informal care. Analytic tools are considered alongside case-studies to illustrate how both carer and caree construct their relationship and account for difficulties with each other.

Recensioner i media

"Talking about Care makes an important contribution to social constructionist research into care relationships ... and an excellent illustration of what a discursive approach can offer to the study and practice of informal and family care ... This book should be required reading for practitioners, trainees, advanced level students, academics and researchers within health and social care and related disciplines as well as those seeking to develop critical reflexivity in the theory and practice care." Ageing and Society
