The world of dementia care can be a difficult one for carers to navigate, full of decisions on everything from diagnosis to end of life. In her groundbreaking investigation, grounded in original empirical data, Rosie Harding explores the regulatory and legal dimensions of caring for a person with dementia. By exploring carers' own experiences negotiating the health and social care of sufferers, she critiques the limitations of the current approaches to health care. This socio-legal work is a new contribution to the study of feminist care ethics, relationality, and vulnerability theory. Duties to Care argues that by understanding the contexts that shape everyday experiences of regulatory structures, we will better understand where the law is operating to support carers, and where it adds to the difficulties. Ultimately, the challenges that dementia poses will be addressed only if we find solutions that take account of the connections between life, dementia and the law.
