Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most
commonly diagnosed psychiatric condition of childhood worldwide,
yet the medical and psychological perspectives that dominate our
understandings of ADHD present problems in their reductive
understanding of the condition. Exploring ADHD incorporates Michel
Foucault's notions of discourse and power into a critical
ethnographic framework in order to analyse ADHD in terms of both
the historical conditions that have shaped understandings of the
disorder, and also the social conditions which build individual
diagnostic cases in today's schools and families. In this
ground-breaking text, Simon Bailey also: acknowledges the necessary
work of classrooms, schools and families in contributing to a
social order; examines the problem of teacher autonomy and the
constraints placed on schools to 'perform'; describes the role of
nurture groups in governing the emotional conduct of children;
presents a unique gender analysis of ADHD. This fascinating new
book will be of interest to researchers and academics in the field
of early childhood education, special and inclusive education, and
will illuminate and spark new debate in the arena of ADHD.
