Abstract

This thesis explores the nature of intimate care interactions between people with severe and profound intellectual disabilities and the staff who work with them, within a theoretical framework of symbolic interactionism. The majority of people with severe and profound intellectual disabilities rely on others to meet their needs for intimate care on a daily basis and this area of care is therefore likely to contribute to their quality of life. However, intimate care has largely been neglected in research and policy.
