Perceptions of the social worker role in adult community mental health teams in England
There is a growing recognition of the importance of the social work contribution within community mental health services. However, although many texts describe what the mental health social work contribution should be, little empirical evidence exists about their role in practice and the difference it might make to service users. This qualitative study sought to articulate this contribution through the voices of social workers and their multidisc…
Positive risk taking
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present the case for examining the concept of positive risk taking (PRT) in the context of adult protection. The paper argues there is a need for empirical research to understand the application of and attitudes to PRT to explore whether the concept has moved beyond a principle to make an identifiable difference to service users. Design/methodology/approach By investigating evidence from policy, literature …

The challenges of commissioning home care for older people in England
Home care for older people in England is commissioned through local authorities working predominantly with independent providers of care. Commissioners operate in a market model, planning and procuring home care services for local populations. Their role involves ‘managing’ and ‘shaping’ the market to ensure an adequate supply of care providers. Another imperative, emerging from the principles of personalisation, is the drive to achieve user outc…
Home‐care providers as collaborators in commissioning arrangements for older people
In England, care to support people living at home is largely commissioned by local authorities (statutory organisations with responsibility for social care in specific localities) from non-statutory home-care providers (for-profit, not-for-profit, voluntary). This paper explores how managers of these services perceive commissioning arrangements and their impact on home-care providers, the care workforce and service users. Little formal research o…
An investigation into the patterns of loneliness and loss in the oldest old – Newcastle 85+ Study
Old age is often characterised as being associated with neglect, isolation and loneliness, not least since established risks factors for loneliness include widowhood, living alone, depression and being female. Cross-sectional data have challenged the notion that loneliness is especially an old-age phenomenon but longitudinal data on loneliness is scarce. Moreover, an under-represented group in prior studies are the oldest old, those aged 85 years…
Health and disease in a UK cohort of 85-year–olds
compared with participants who had died, for the three psychosocial measures, were: CASP-19 (3.75 and 6.02 respectively, p,0.001); GHQ-12 (1.24 and 2.12 respectively, p,0.001); and CES-D (1.53 and 2.44 respectively, p,0.001). Logistic regression analyses revealed that, after controlling for demographic, health, and lifestyle factors, CASP-19 (odds ratio (OR) = 1.10, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.13), GHQ-12 (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.05 to 1.12), and CES-D (OR 1.13, …
The body and doing gender
This article attempts to show how the concept of the body - as it has been applied in feminist thought - can be utilised in trying to understand the changing and at times problematic working relations between doctors and nurses in Sweden. Three approaches are applied with respect to the body: (1) Doctors and nurses belong to two differentcollective bodieswhich embody historical constructions of masculinity and femininity - which in turn have infl…

The Tensions between Process Time and Clock Time in Care-Work
Implicit or explicit in work on care and caring has been the issue of time. Notwithstanding this fact, however, time itself has not been sufficiently problematized. In the first part of this paper, the concept of process time is introduced and its relevance for an understanding of care-work is suggested. Drawing on data from a qualitative study of day nurseries in Sweden, the second part of the paper explores various tensions and conflicts that (…
Spänningar i välfärdsstaten - exemplet tidsbegränsad anställning
Genom exemplet tidsbegränsad anställning — en anställningsform speciellt vanlig bland kvinnor — analyserar artikelförfattarna den svenska välfärdsstaten. De hävdar att visserligen har den bidragit till positiva förändringar i den könsliga arbetsdelningen, men att männens dominans i grunden är orubbad
Att skapa en kvinnlig offentlighet - tio år med Kvinnovetenskaplig tidskrift

Factory Women, Redundancy and the Search for Work
A number of social scientists (see for example, Allen et al., 1986; Brown, 1984; Purcell, 1985; Purcell et al., 1986; Roberts et al., 1985) have drawn attention to the way in which patterns of working have changed radically in recent years suggesting that we need to rethink and reconceptualise with regard to work, employment and unemployment. This paper examines these issues in Sweden where recession in the early eighties and economic restructuri…
Manlig tid och kvinnors verklighet
Vi måste fråga oss vilka krafter som präglat vår nuvarande tidsuppfattning, säger Karen Davies, som i denna artikel argumenterar för ett köns- och maktperspektiv på tiden. Ett av hennes syften är att visa att det västerländska tidsbegreppet är en produkt av vissa manliga religiösa, ekonomiska och vetenskapliga intressen. Ett annat är att belysa hur en manlig tidsuppfattning osynliggör och förvanskar kvinnors verklighet
Women and unemployment
Unemployment and Identity
What are the implications of unemployment for women? What happens to women's identity when they become unemployed? Can women, as opposed to men, easily return to their place within the home in times of an economic recession? Or is it the case that women see paid work as their right? What happens when these expectations concerning paid work are not fulfilled? How do they cope with unemployment? What does paid work mean to women? A plethora of stud…
Den smalnande pyramiden
I fyra artiklar som baseras på empiriska undersökningar och egna erfarenheter beskrivs och diskuteras situationen för de kvinnliga forskarna och forskarstuderandena vid universiteten. Karen Davies kartlägger kvinnornas successiva bortfall i en 'smalnande pyramid' inom utbildningssystemet. Rigmor Sylvén tar upp några konkreta orsaker till bortfallet: problemen med ekonomi och oförstående handledare drabbar kvinnorna hårdast. Genom djupintervjuer h…
