Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2011.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : The home has a paradoxical status, both as sanctuary for what is private and category of social action. Home care oriented policies, professionalisation in caring, the commodification of social work, commodification of privacy – all these phenomena have the effect of bringing into question the limits between the private sphere, private space and public domains. This fact forces professionals to scrutinise the meaning of their practice in light of the countervailing demands of the person’s privacy and application of policy guidelines. Their own privacy is brought into question, and this may be the source of the unease they express.
