Abstract

The aim of this job is to reconstruct the moral career, that is, the sequence of events that constitute the social trajectory expecienced by a group of subjects belonging to a common social category as dependant adults. For the reconstruction of this career, we used a qualitative approach based on life stories, obtained through interviews with relatives and caregivers of institutionalized adults with severe cognitive impairment.
