Foreword
When I first became involved in the carers movement more than 20 years ago there was very little literature available either for carers themselves or for those interested in caring in its wider social context. Since then, not only has the movement itself grown hugely so that carers and caring are recognised in many parts of the world, but the range of literature has grown too. There are many guides for carers and many academic studies, both very welcome to those who are caring and to those who are interested in helping them.
