Hidden Carers by Joyce Cavaye

This work explores the complex relationship between family carers and statutory service providers from the caregiver's perspective. Hidden carers are so called because as non-users of welfare services they are invisible to the statutory care providers. Why, when care-giving is burdensome and stressful do so many provide care without support from the service providers?

'an interesting model of the trajectory of a care-giving career conceptualised as a nine-stage evolutionary process' Social Care Association

Joyce Cavaye is Staff Tutor in the School of Health and Social Welfare, the Open University in Scotland.
