Description
The book portrays men between the ages of 23 and 65, who work in caring professions in different areas, such as nursing homes, acute care clinics, home care, outpatient care and psychiatry, providing readers with an insight into their biographies. The protagonists recount in a candid way what motivated their career choice. Did they become aware of it through their environment or through personal experience?
Which barriers did they have to overcome in the process of choosing a career?
What do they think of their role as an exotic species in female-dominated teams? At which point did they begin to question the prevailing norms of gender identities?
And what did that do for their own idea of masculinity?
These portraits are enriched by five personal essays written by representatives from the Swiss healthcare sector who have been in the caring profession for a long time.
