| Annotation | In assessment meetings concerning care services for people with dementia, Swedish case managers face a dilemma. On the one hand, according to the law, the right to self-determination of every adult citizen must be respected, but on the other hand cognitive disabilities make it difficult to fulfil obligations of being a fully-fledged citizen. In this article, the authors examine 15 assessment meetings to identify discursive strategies used by case managers to handle this dilemma. The authors also examine how these affect the participation of persons with dementia, and indicate implications of their study for social work practice and research. (JL). |
