Description
Summary:Assessing family care work is an extremely complex task, full of risks (because it concerns people's life). It requires sensitivity, great self-awareness and awareness of one's own prejudices and of one's own idea of family. In order to make an assessment professionals must have a curious attitude, capable of constantly seeking connections between interacting subjects, and these subjects include the observer him/herself, his/her thoughts and epistemology. This paper presents the reflections emerging from a high level inservice training course aimed at care and education professionals, based on narrative and reflective methodologies.
