Care--beyond virtue and command.
The academic turn in the field of health care has placed the study of health within the confines of a logocentric or scientistic framework. This development has led to the devaluation of many issues important to professional practice. One of these is the issue of care. In this article, different ways to enhance caring qualities are discussed. It is shown that the key to care lies not within abstract theories and principles, but rather in reflecting over our own life-world experience.
