Carter, M. orcid.org/0000-0003-0683-3874 (2022) The Indirect Approach: Towards Non-Dominating Dementia Care. Res Publica, 28 (3). pp. 467-480. ISSN: 1356-4765
Abstract
Carers often interfere with the choices of people living with dementia. On neorepublican and (most) relational egalitarian views, interference can be justified if it tracks a person's interests: if it does not lead to a relationship of domination. However, the kind of environment-shaping interventions carers often pursue would be considered infantilising or objectionably paternalistic in other cases. In this paper, I defend this indirect approach and argue that it offers the best prospects of dementia care without domination.
