Contributing factors that might reduce ascertainment session. Following an introduction by Professor Elizabeth Elliott are: low returns of the orange cards; delays in following-up of the Australian Paediatric Unit on the workings of the INoPSU positive reports by the investigators; poor returns of completed the session continued with seven more specific presentations questionnaires; and situations when children with the condition 1 of interest are seen by professionals outside the orange card mailing list. At present the return rate of cards remains high at over 90%, and though it has fallen slightly in recent years, we make regular efforts to maximize returns. Delays in the follow-up of positive case reports can only be managed by the investigators, but there are several ways in which they can maximize returns: prompt contact with informants and clear and unambiguous case definitions and questionnaires are the most important.

  • Bad Medicine: Parents, the State, and the Charge of “Medical Child Abuse”
    Bad Medicine: Parents, the State, and the Charge of “Medical Child Abuse” ∗ Maxine Eichner † Doctors and hospitals have begun to level a new charge — “medical child abuse” (MCA) — against parents who, they say, get unnecessary medical treatment for their kids. The fact that this treatment has been ordered by other doctors does not protect parents from these accusations. Child protection officials have generally supported the accusing doctors in these charges, threatening parents with loss of custody, removing children from their homes, and even sometimes charging parents criminally for this asserted overtreatment. Judges, too, have largely treated such charges as credible claims of child abuse. ∗ Copyright © 2016 Maxine Eichner.

  • The Uses of Maternal Distress in British Society, C.1948-1979
    The Uses of Maternal Distress in British Society, c.1948-1979 Sarah Crook A thesis submitted to Queen Mary University of London, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History School of History 1 ABSTRACT After the Second World War mothering became an object of social, political, medical and psychiatric investigation. These investigations would in turn serve as the bases for new campaigns around the practice, meaning and significance of maternity. This brought attention to mothers’ emotional repertoires, and particularly their experiences of distress. In this thesis I interrogate the use of maternal distress, asking how and why maternal distress was made visible by professions, institutions and social movements in postwar Britain. To address this I investigate how maternal mental health was constituted both as an object of clinical interrogation and used as evidence of the need for reform. Social and medical studies were used to develop and circulate ideas about the causes and prevalence of distress, making possible a new series of interventions: the need for more information about users of the health care service, an enhanced interest in disorders at the milder end of the psychiatric ‘spectrum’, and raised expectations of health. I argue that the approaches of those studying maternal distress were shaped by their particular agendas. General practitioners, psychiatrists, activists in the Women’s Liberation Movement, clinicians interested in child abuse and social scientists, sought to understand and explain mothers’ emotions. These involvements were shaped by the foundation of the National Health Service in 1948 and the crystallization of support for alternative forms of care into self-help groups by 1979.
