Drawing on several years of in-depth research with 18 Irish mothers of children with Down syndrome, autism, and ADHD, Kingston (women's studies, University College Cork, UK) encourages mothers of children with special needs to recognize and express their own aspirations and needs for self-fulfillment. She examines the social construction of motherhood, discussing issues such as mother-blame and society's images of the self-sacrificing mother, in the context of raising a child with a disability. Excerpts from interviews with the mothers in the study shed light on maternal coping, staying home versus working outside the home, social networks, and Catholic values and children with special needs. A list of US and UK contacts is included, along with a list of books by mothers of children with special needs. The readership for the book includes mothers as well as professionals.
