The chapter summarizes some of the complexities of delivering care in social interaction and how calls from various literatures to act in caring ways have highlighted contrary themes within practices of care-giving. It focuses on discourse analytic theory to explore how interviewees produce and negotiate self-identities and practices within conversation.",
