"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 "... this is an important book and one that should be read by researchers and teachers in dementia care. Its importance lies in its topicality and its argument that a polarization and dichotomy has occured between carees and carers." Dementia "This book illuminates the world of care and family relationships. Individual voices speak loud and clear about the multifaceted world of care. Forbat's analysis is neither sentimental nor partial. It will equip practitioners with an understanding of the hidden depths and strengths of care relationships."
