What does it mean to ‘practise presence’ in caring for others? How did the theory of presence develop from research on everyday care practice? And what are the professional, organisational and political implications of presence theory and relational caring?
These are some of the questions Martin Robb explores in Careful Thinking episode 20: Caring presence – with Andries Baart and Guus Timmerman. Andries and Guus have collaborated on the book, Relational Caring and Presence Theory in Health Care and Social Work: a Care-Ethical Perspective which forms the main focus of our conversation in this podcast.
