| Annotation | Social care research has moved gradually in recent years to include the subjective perspective. Dementia care - which is in many ways still in its infancy - has lagged behind in this development, with much research being informed by the carer rather than the person with dementia. As a young subject area, it is right that dementia care should look around for lessons that can be learned from other disciplines. This paper considers how research with people with learning difficulties has developed a culture for hearing the views of service users. It outlines various methodologies, considering their strengths and weaknesses. The author reviews research in dementia care featuring the subjective experience, from which lessons can be drawn and possible ways forward identified. (RH). |
