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.

'A sorely-needed critical analysis deploying contemporary philosophy and feminist thought to reframe the complexities of ADHD, its diagnosis and treatment. The analysis of the denigration of the voices of mothers in particular, and parents/ carers more generally, in terms of epistemic injustice is incisive.'- Havi Carel, Professor of Philosophy, University of Bristol, UK‘Bozena Zoric has produced not just a work of excellent scholarship, but a decisive, compassionate and important intervention for epistemic justice in relation to the understanding of ADHD, and the cultural and medical demonisation of mothers of children with the diagnosis. It’s a must-read contribution to the literature on this ballooning diagnosis, of interest to those working in the critical medical humanities, psychology and psychoanalysis, and feminism and gender. A great achievement!’- Michael J Flexer, Co-director for Public Engagement, Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health, University of Exeter, UK 'This book is an essential reading for anyone concerned with improving the life chances of the 2.5 million UK citizens impacted by ADHD. It is not only a book that gives a voice to parents and children with neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and those with combined ADHD and Autism, it is a major contribution to the debate about why numerous health service reforms, service redesigns and restructures have proved costly and ineffective.'- Tony Lloyd, Consultant, Trainer, Psychotherapist and Coach, and Neurodiversity Specialist, UK
