Collection of papers concentrating on the disturbance at the heart of the care system. Through case studies the contributors show how to identify and understand the deficiencies of the user/carer/community care triangle. Argues that a capacity to recognise the disturbance within individuals and within systems, and reflect upon why it exists, provides the containment crucial for care work. This reflective approach allows the creation of systems in which it is possible to engage openly with users without being obstructed by undue anxiety.
