Book Synopsis Living and Dying at Murray Manor by : Jaber F. Gubrium
Book excerpt: A classic text that documents the "work" of everyday life in a nursing home. In 1973 sociologist Jaber F. Gubrium spent several months at a nursing home as a participant-observer. Through his observations, interviews, and transcriptions, Gubrium recounts case studies of clients, doctors, the dynamics between them, patient socialization, and the intimacies of daily hygiene.
