Common ground and memory challenges in major neurocognitive disorder
In this article we investigate how memory challenges are revealed and dealt with in interaction involving couples living with Major Neurocognitive Disorder (MND - former dementia). Using a set of repeated video recorded interviews with couples performed over 5 years, interactional sequences are analyzed where one or both spouses make a reference to any kind of ‘memory problems’, that is, not ‘remembering’ information. Focus is on how these instan…
‘Control or support?’ Professional roles and judgements in problem solving in adult social work team conferences
The purpose of this paper is to explore how care managers in team conferences jointly solve problems related to difficult cases involving clients with cognitive decline, focusing specifically on their professional roles and judgements. Team conferences in a Swedish social work setting mean that social workers assess and interpret previously collected information and discuss how to proceed with cases. We use conversation analysis to study two case…
Persuasion in practice
The Swedish Social Services Act stipulates an individual perspective that promotes self-determination. In practice, this means that relatives lack formal rights to intrude on a person with dementia’s right to self-determination in decisions about elder care services. However, the Social Services Act also states that family members who are caring for a close relative should be offered support. This legislation may lead to contradictions within soc…
Couples living with dementia managing conflicting knowledge claims
This conversation analytic study investigates how couples manage conflicting knowledge claims when one of the persons has dementia (PWD). The data are video-recordings of 16 couples talking with a third party. The analysis focuses on the negotiation of epistemic rights, more precisely how partners initiate repair and correct claims made by the PWD on matters belonging to the latter’s epistemic domain. We identified three main practices for correc…
Speaking for and about a spouse with dementia
This study analyses sequences where people with dementia are positioned as third parties in stories about their own lives. Previous research emphasises how people with dementia are frequently excluded from social encounters, and how others tend to speak for or about them in their co-presence. Drawing on conversation analytic methods when analysing 15 video recorded interviews with Swedish couples living with dementia, we argue that telling storie…
Measuring enterprises’ investments in social capital
Westlund H. and Nilsson E. (2005) Measuring enterprises’ investments in social capital: a pilot study, Regional Studies 39 , 1079–1094. Research into the impact of social capital on economic growth has focused mainly on the social capital related to the civic society. Social capital related to business enterprises has received little attention. This pilot study aims to develop a method of measuring investment by enterprises in social capital and …
