Challenging the politics of early intervention : who's 'saving' children and why / Val Gillies, Rosalind Edwards, Nicola Horsley. - 224 pages
So often, the ills of society are blamed on negligent parenting, leading to the development of social service policies built around the concept of early intervention. Interrogating this concept, this book explores the history of our understanding of children, family, and parenting, and its implications for society. With a particular focus on the intersection of brain science and social policy, the authors challenge our long-held consensus on early intervention.
