I Don't Want to Live Like This Anymore: Disrupted Habitus in Young People “At Risk” of Diagnosis of Personality Disorder
This article reports on interview data gathered from 27 young people involved with a street-level service for young people considered 'at risk' of diagnosis of personality disorder. Interviews with a self-selecting sample of young people explored the events that led to their initial contact with the service. Using Silverman's twin-track approach, narrative analysis provided a description of 'how' these young people describe their lives in terms o…
Crisis and Loss in the Social Experiences of Young Adults with Undiagnosed Personality Disorder
This qualitative study focuses on the social experiences of a group of young women and men who engaged with a street level organization providing an early intervention service for young people “at risk” of diagnosis of personality disorder. Semi-structured interviews provided a range of insights into their lives which are characterized by difficult relationships and a range of risky and self-harming behaviors. Analysis produced three themes that …
Older family‐carers’ views on the future accommodation needs of relatives who have an intellectual disability
Over the past 20 years, research across the developed world has identified trends towards ageing of the population with learning/intellectual disability. Alongside is the recognition that family‐carers are also ageing. Recently, the UK government has sought to identify the future housing needs of dependents with intellectual disability residing with older carers. Consequentially, a city council commissioned this qualitative study involving 28 old…
Decision-making, uncertainty and risk: Exploring the complexity of work processes in NHS delivery suites
The concept of the ‘risk society’ has focused on growing uncertainties about the benefits of scientific innovation and the reliability of professional judgement. Paradoxically, this has gone hand in hand with reductions in the actual risk associated with many activities and is often accompanied by demands for a technological fix. These contradictory impulses are especially evident in maternity care. While maternal and infant mortality rates have …
On the poverty of apriorism: Technology, surveillance in the workplace and employee responses
Many debates about surveillance at work are framed by a set of a priori assumptions about the nature of the employment relationship that inhibits efforts to understand the complexity of employee responses to the spread of new technology at work. In particular, the debate about the prevalence of resistance is hamstrung from the outset by the assumption that all apparently non‐compliant acts, whether intentional or not, are to be counted as acts of…
Call Centre Employees' Responses to Electronic Monitoring: Some Research Findings
There is a growing literature on employment in call centres, much of which suggests that they are characterised by high levels of work intensification and surveillance. Recently, a debate has emerged about the nature of surveillance in such workplaces and the level and character of employee resistance (Bain and Taylor 2000; Fernie and Metcalf 1998; Mulholland 1999) with some, such as Bain and Taylor, claiming that the argument is characterised by…
The placement of a social service care manager in a GP surgery as a way to improve carer access to services and improve liaison between statutory agencies
This paper reports on a pilot project funded jointly by South and West Devon Health Authority and Devon Social Service department which sought to overcome some of the problems encountered with liaison between services, and to improve carer experience and access to social services. This involved the placement in a Plymouth general practitioner (GP) surgery of a social service care manager who worked from the surgery and was allocated extra hours f…
Women farmers in south-west England
There has been research on women running businesses and on women as farmers’ wives, but little is known about women farmers—women running their own businesses within the rural economy. This paper reports on long interviews with nine women farmers in the South West of England. All had become involved in farming during or as a result of marriage, but at the time of the interviews all were business‐women in their own right, running farms or substant…
