| Abstract: |
This article reviews *Researching Care with Case Studies* by Robert Stake and Merel Visse, which explores the methodological and ethical intersections between case study research and professional care practices. The authors argue that care inherently involves treating individuals as unique cases, requiring deep contextual understanding and ethical engagement, and they present detailed case studies to illustrate how validity in case research is grounded in care ethics. The book emphasizes the experiential, subjective nature of case inquiry, advocating for in-depth single-case analysis over broad generalization, while also discussing the challenges and potential of comparing diverse care contexts across professional boundaries. It highlights the political and democratic dimensions of care as experienced in everyday interactions and calls for greater integration of case study insights into professional and public discourse on caring services.
