Models of charitable care : Catholic nuns and children in their care in Amsterdam, 1852-2002 /

Analyses the practice of Catholic nuns in Amsterdam in the 19th and 20th century. This book focuses on the ambiguous ascetic spiritual discourse that underpinned their work: it encouraged charity as solidarity with strangers, but caused intense emotional distance too.
