商品描述

This book explores the experiences of older people who provide care within marriage, highlighting the neglected role of older spouse carers and the positive social contributions they make. Drawing on relevant data, literature and research including in-depth interviews conducted with 26 older spouse carers, the author challenges classed, gendered, and other assumptions and expectations around older age and unpaid caring. These include the beliefs that older age is a time of passivity and dependency, that caring is a primarily female role that transcends class divides and that this caring is a normal part of the spousal relationship and not worthy of special attention. In addition to challenging these assumptions, the book will consider the implications of findings for service provision.

This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers in Social Care, Sociology, Gerontology, and Gender Studies. In addition, practitioners and policy makers may also find this book of interest.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書探討了年長者在婚姻中提供照顧的經驗，突顯了年長配偶照顧者被忽視的角色以及他們所做出的正面社會貢獻。作者根據相關數據、文獻和研究，包括對26位年長配偶照顧者進行的深入訪談，挑戰了有關年長、性別及其他假設和期望的觀念。這些觀念包括：年長是被動和依賴的時期，照顧主要是女性的角色，超越了階級的界限，並且這種照顧是配偶關係中的正常部分，不值得特別關注。除了挑戰這些假設外，這本書還將考慮研究結果對服務提供的影響。

這本書將吸引社會照顧、社會學、老年學和性別研究領域的學者和研究人員。此外，實務工作者和政策制定者也可能會對這本書感興趣。
