ADHD, Attachment Theory and Epistemic Injustice - Redressing the Undue Blame of Mothers in ADHD Diagnosis

This book offers an exploration of the intersection between ADHD diagnosis, attachment theory, and epistemic injustice, centring the lived experiences of mothers who have been blamed for their child’s ADHD diagnosis. With new insights into the cultural and sociological dimensions of ADHD, attachment theory, and the clinical field’s understanding of mothers, it will be of interest to scholars and researchers in the fields of ADHD in children, gender studies, attachment and feminist theories. Practitioners working in women’s mental health and injustice studies may also find the volume of use, along with paediatricians and those interested in issues affecting neurodiversity.
