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

considered alongside case-studies to illustrate how both carer and
caree construct their relationship and account for difficulties
with each other. the false polarities between 'care/abuse' and
'carer/caree'? How do carers and carees use life histories to
explain troubled relationships? What can discourse analysis add to
how we make sense of individual carer/caree accounts? How can
health and social care practitioners apply these ideas to reflect
on their own practice? academics in health and social care who want
to critically examine the way that care is talked about. It
explores new territory by addressing both practice and theoretical
issues, drawing particular attention to the utility of discourse
analysis in practice.
