It is crucial for the quality of care of people with mental
retardation that care providers experience their work as
meaningful. A complexity, however, is the fact that this care is
divided amongst a range of professions. This book addresses issues
of meaning (meaning of care and meaning of life) from all the
different professional perspectives involved. Such a
multidisciplinary approach is unique and has never before been
followed. The book contains the results of a series of interviews
in which parents of people with mental retardation were asked what
they conceive to be meaningful care. The results are placed in
relation to experiences and conceptions of professional caregivers.
Moreover, the study analyzes the cultural, philosophical, and
theological significance of the concept, meaningful care'. Finally,
the book explores the relevance of this concept for practical
professions such as medical care, social work, educational
psychology, pedagogic counseling, and pastoral care. Scholarly
depth is combined with experiential knowledge of professional
practice. Hence, this book is an outstanding source of reflection
for all those who work professionally with people with mental
retardation.
