Riassunto

This Handbook illustrates the importance of examining child mental health from a different perspective, one that assumes that psychiatric categories are made real in and through both written and spoken language. It gathers a range of applied and theoretical analyses from leading scholars and clinicians in order to examine the conversational practices of children diagnosed with mental health disorders alongside those of their parents, families and practitioners. The contributors move away from viewing mental illness as an objective truth; instead reintroducing the relevance of language in constructing and deconstructing the assumptions that surround the diagnosis and treatment of childhood mental health disorders. Including chapters on ADHD, autism, depression, eating disorders and trauma, this collection addresses the diversity involved in discussing child mental health.

Divided into six parts: the place of conversation/discourse analysis; critical approaches; social constructions of normal/abnormal; situating and exploring the difficulties involved; managing problem behaviour and discussing different practices involved; this Handbook presents a comprehensive overview of child mental health. It is an essential reference resource for all those involved or interested in child mental health.

Recensione:

“This important reference work is not just for mental health practitioners; it explores new possibilities for researchers and professionals interested in using discursive analysis in the work of supporting children’s mental health. ... The volume has much to offer both theoretical debates in discourse studies and implications of discursive analyses for research and practice in mental health.” (Lise Claiborne, Discourse Studies, Vol. 19 (5), 2017)

“O'Reilly (Univ. of Leicester, UK) and Lester (Indiana Univ.) have organized this handbook around an alternative perspective on children’s mental health, one using discourse and conversation analysis (DA/CA). ... Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty, professionals.” (J. F. Heberle, Choice, Vol. 53 (12), August, 2016)
