This timely volume offers a novel exploration of the intersection between ADHD diagnosis, attachment theory, and epistemic injustice, centring the lived experiences of mothers who have been blamed for their childâs ADHD diagnosis.

Novelly positioning the blaming of mothers as a matter of epistemic injustice, the book uses a conceptual framework that combines the medical humanities with feminist, critical, and attachment theories in order to challenge established tropes of blame prevalent within the field of ADHD diagnosis. Chapters explore the justification behind the claim that attachment difficulties can cause ADHD, and deliver robust, valuable insights on the cultural aspect of attachment theory through qualitative interviews that give direct voice to the perspective of mothers. Underpinned by the authorâs extensive clinical experience, this book ultimately brings forth ideas for a more humane approach to healthcare and a celebration of neurodiversity.

Contributing new insights into the cultural and sociological dimensions of ADHD, attachment theory, and the clinical fieldâs understanding of mothers, this book will be of interest to scholars and researchers in the fields of ADHD in children, gender studies, attachment theory and feminist theory. Practitioners working in womenâs mental health and injustice studies may also find the volume of use, along with paediatricians and those more generally interested in issues affecting neurodiversity.
