Wendy Hollway explores a subject that is largely absent from the
topical literature on care. Humans are not born with a capacity to
care, and this volume explores how this capacity is achieved
through the experiences of primary care, gender development and
later, parenting. In this book, the author addresses the assumption
that the capacity to care is innate. She argues that key processes
in the early development of babies and young children create the
capability for individuals to care, with a focus on the role of
intersubjective experience and parent-child relations. The Capacity
to Care also explores the controversial belief that women are
better at caring than men and questions whether this is likely to
change with contemporary shifts in parenting and gender relations.
Similarly, the sensitive domain of the quality of care and how to
consider whether care has broken down are also debated, alongside a
consideration of what constitutes a 'good enough' family. The
Capacity to Care provides a unique theorization of the nature of
selfhood, drawing on developmental and object relations
psychoanalysis, as well as philosophical and feminist literatures.
It will be of relevance to social scientists studying gender
development, gender relations and the family as well as those
interested in the ethics of care debate.
