Ageism and Person-Centred Care

Discover the compelling insights of Ageism and Person-Centred Care by Stephen Buetow, published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2024. This thought-provoking hardback, spanning 156 pages, delves into the intricate values, judgments, and hierarchies that shape ageism within care environments.

Buetow challenges the conventional belief that ageism is inherently negative, proposing instead that it can be normatively neutral. He argues that to achieve genuinely person-centred care, it is essential to recognize and respond to the unique circumstances surrounding individuals. This book is a must-read for those interested in sociology and the evolving dynamics of care practices, offering a fresh perspective that encourages critical reflection and dialogue.
