| The number of children labelled ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) has been on the increase since the term entered common medical parlance thirty years ago. Through a deeply personal narrative and an analysis of Michel Foucaultâ s theories on truth, power and knowledge, The Ancient Mariner Speaks argues that the ADHD label has contributed to the pathologizing of childrenâ s, particularly boysâ , behaviour and the further marginalization and exclusion, rather than inclusion, of students in the classroom. |
