Case understanding is a central element of social work that is becoming increasingly important in elderly care. In this book, the author demonstrates what a guiding concept for a "case-understanding" approach in elderly care can look like. She first explains the approach of case understanding, then elaborates on the significance of the experiences of clients and caregivers, relationship dynamics, group events, and interactional phenomena. Through numerous practical examples, it becomes clear how case understanding is shaped and impacts professional everyday life.
