They also make these decisions within an overriding climate of mother-blame. Claudia Malacrida's Cold Comfort provides a contextualized study of how mothers negotiate with/against the 'helping professions' over assessment and treatment for their AD(H)D children. Malacrida counters current conceptions about mothers of AD(H)D children (namely that mothers irresponsibly push for Ritalin to manage their children's behaviour) as well as professional assumptions of maternal pathology. This thought-provoking examination documents Malacrida's extensive interviews with mothers of affected children in both Canada and the United Kingdom, and details the way in which these women speak of their experiences. Malacrida compares their narratives to national discourses and practices, placing the complex mother-child and mother-professional relations at the centre of her critical inquiry. Drawing on both poststructural discourse analysis and feminist standpoint theory, Malacrida makes a critical contribution to qualitative methodologies by developing a feminist discursive ethnography of the construction of AD(H)D in two divergent cultures. On a more personal level, she offers readers a moving, nuanced, and satisfying examination of real women and children facing both public and private challenges linked to AD(H)D. 606 $aAttention-deficit-disordered children 606 $aAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorder$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aMother and child$xMental health 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 607 $aCanada$2fast 607 $aUnited Kingdom 607 $aCanada 608 $aCross-cultural studies. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAttention-deficit-disordered children. 615 0$aAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorder 615 0$aMother and child$xMental health. 676 $a362.1/968589/00942 700 $aMalacrida$b Claudia$f1953-$01714021 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818677403321 996 $aCold comfort$94107485 997 $aUNINA
