Mothering and Attention Deficit Disorder
Angebote / Angebote:
The debate on what causes Attention Deficit Disorder
(ADD) is conducted fiercely, along with claims and
counterclaims as to the validity of the diagnosis.
It appears that everyone has an opinion on the
real-ness or otherwise of ADD, and what interventions
are needed to assist individuals and families. What
is missing from this debate is the day-to-day reality
of mothers who have children with ADD. In this book,
a feminist analysis of motherhood and mother blame
provides insights into the reality of mothering
children with ADD. Foucault's notions of difference,
normalisation, power and resistance provide a
framework to conceptualise ADD and to understand the
controversy. A must read for individuals and
families affected by ADD, and professionals working
in the fields of health, education and welfare.
