Carers and caring are contemporary global issues of growing political and societal significance. Changing demographics in the UK and beyond, as well as policy drivers promoting community-based living, mean that the family is increasingly the site of care for relatives with long term support needs. Whilst there is a plethora of literature on carers it tends to be situated in separate subject areas. For the first time Family Carers and Caring brings together a range of material and evidence about carers from different sources presented in an accessible and yet academically informed way. Milne and Larkin help to make sense of the complexities of family carers and caring, carving a coherent path through the academic, policy, socio-political, and practice terrain. Family Carers and Caring is explicitly underpinned by principles of social justice and rights, focusing on how inequalities intersect with caring.--

"After getting her master's in clinical psychology, Dasha Kiper took a leave of absence from school and began to look after a Holocaust survivor with middle-stage Alzheimer's. For a year, she lived with the emotional strain of caregiving, learning at firsthand how disorienting and painful it can be to look after a person whose condition blatantly disregards the rules of time, order, and continuity. Based on the subsequent decade she has spent counseling caregivers of dementia patients, Kiper offers an entirely new approach to understanding the relationship between patients and those tending to them. In these poignant but unsentimental stories of parents and children, husbands and wives, Kiper dispels the myth of the perfect caregiver. Relying on a wide breadth of cognitive and neurological research and borrowing from philosophy and literature, Kiper explores the existential dilemmas created by this disease: a man believes his wife is an impostor; a woman's imaginary friendships with famous authors drive a wedge between her and her devoted husband; another woman's childhood trauma emerges to torment her son; a man's sudden, intense Catholic piety provokes his wife. As painful as these conflicts are for caregivers, resolving them has its own cost. In order to find peace, caregivers try to walk an impossibly fine line between acknowledging what the disease has taken from someone they love and recognizing what it has left"--Publisher's description.

In Part-Time for All, Jennifer Nedelsky and Tom Malleson propose a plan to radically restructure both work and care and offer a solution to a fundamentally dysfunctional imbalance of work and care obligations. They argue that no competent adult should do paid work for more than 30 hours per week, and everyone should also contribute roughly 22 hours of unpaid care to family, friends, or their chosen community of care. While such a transformation would require radical changes to our cultural norms as well as to our workplace practices, this book carefully dissects the current crisis of care and offers a realistic plan forward.

Ce roman graphique, écrit par Laure Watelet, médecin urgentiste, et savamment illustré par Pauline Antoine est une pépite que l'on devrait trouver dans la bibliothèque de tout soignant qui souhaite bien faire son métier. Un style ludique avec des illustrations humoristiques décrit ce que peut vivre, ressentir un patient qui vient aux urgences, à l'hôpital... Cela permet au lecteur de se poser les bonnes questions sur la communication dans le domaine du soin et de trouver une très belle synthèse des grands principes de cette communication, résumée dans un dessin et quelques mots sur une page! Le livre se lit et se regarde facilement. Même pour un soignant pressé, cette lecture est un moment "d'apprentissage ludique", je dirais de détente humoristique, où on découvre sous la plume d'un médecin de terrain et d'une illustratrice douée - même très douée - les travers de nos interactions verbales et non verbales avec les patients. La lecture prend peu de temps, elle peut être arrêtée et reprise, elle peut s'approfondir à volonté en fonction des besoins du lecteur. Un plaisir de découvrir et décoder l'univers des soignants et les remèdes à apporter quand l'intention est déconnectée du résultat. La majorité des soignants ont d'excellentes intentions, mais comme le dit le proverbe : "l'enfer est pavé de bonnes intentions". La communication thérapeutique s'apprend et se perfectionne tout au long de notre activité professionnelle. Saisissons donc l'occasion d'approfondir nos connaissances et profitons de la parution de ce roman graphique exceptionnel
