Based on original empirical research and narratives from qualified nurses, this book introduces the concept of emotional labour and its historical and political context. It provides an original, but easily recognisable typology, and emphasizes that it is a complex, messy, opaque emotion that drives emotional labour within the healthcare setting.

Catherine Theodosius recently completed an ESRC postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Essex and is a Lecturer in Adult Nursing at University Campus Suffolk.
