Holding Time, written by the author, who has extensive experience in dementia care and palliative care as a psychodynamic psychotherapist, plays a significant role in raising awareness about the significance and value of relationship-centered care in this field. The book is predominantly ethnographic, unfolding as a narrative, and includes genuine quotes from staff and residents of the care homes where the author conducted observations.
Holding Time delves into the importance of both relational and technical investments in care. It achieves this by examining the intricate micro-interactions of everyday care and concern, gradually expanding to a broader organizational and macro-level. The book addresses our societal fears regarding dependency and challenges the dominance of the independent, rational individual over other human experiences.
The author's contribution is particularly valuable in the context of UK dementia care homes, where a psychoanalytic perspective is offered. This book represents a contemporary exploration of the dementia care field and contributes to the broader movement aimed at improving the care and well-being of individuals living with dementia and those who work alongside them.
