| Publisher Description: Ann Oakley develops a sociology of the research process, telling the story of how a research project is undertaken and what happens during it, to both researchers and those who are researched. This remarkable book focuses on a topic of great importance in the provision of health services - caring and social support. Social support and motherhood is now reissued for a contemporary audience and has much resonance for social science researchers and others interested in the experiences of mothers, and in the relations between social research, academic knowledge and public policy. |
