This leads to a social problem: the loss of personhood in dementia care. The communication technique Intensive Interaction, however, honours personhood. The current study aimed to explore how paid caregivers of people with dementia enact societal discourses of dementia, with and without the context of Intensive Interaction. This was to explore ways to address the loss of personhood in dementia care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Paid caregivers from two residential care homes attended an Intensive Interaction training day. Caregivers participated in focus groups before and after training. Transcripts of the focus groups were analysed with Critical Discourse Analysis, an approach which relates discourse to social power.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Before Intensive Interaction training, carers accessed medical discourses of loss, non-communication and lack of personhood. \u2018Being with\u2019 people with dementia was framed as separate to paid work. After training, caregivers accessed discourses of communication and personhood. Intensive Interaction reframed \u2018being with\u2019 people with dementia as part of \u2018doing work\u2019. Family caregivers were largely absent from discourses. Care home hierarchies and the industrialisation of care were barriers towards honouring personhood.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Medical discourses of dementia reinforce a status quo whereby interpersonal interactions are devalued in dementia care, and professional \u2018knowledge\u2019 (thereby professional power) is privileged over relationships. Intensive Interaction may enable paid caregivers to access person-centred discourses and related practices. However, this requires support from management, organisational structures, and wider society. More research is needed to identify ways to involve families in residential care and to explore the effects of using Intensive Interaction in practice.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/1471301218814389","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,4]],"date-time":"2018-12-04T21:54:30Z","timestamp":1543960470000},"page":"2018-2037","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Intensive Interaction and discourses of personhood: A focus group study with dementia caregivers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Cheyann J","family":"Heap","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Harrogate and District Community Team for Learning Disabilities, Knaresborough, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emma","family":"Wolverson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health and Social Work, University of Hull, Hull, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1471301218814389","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/089801010001800206"},{"key":"bibr2-1471301218814389","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1744-6198.2006.00031.x"},{"key":"bibr3-1471301218814389","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/icd.455"},{"key":"bibr4-1471301218814389","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0020-7489(91)90051-4"},{"key":"bibr5-1471301218814389","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0144686X10000693"},{"key":"bibr6-1471301218814389","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"52","DOI":"10.53841\/bpscpf.2014.1.253.52","volume":"253","author":"Bender M.
