LE REGARD PARADOXAL DES PROFESSIONNEL-LE-S Christine Gruson Antropología In France, nowadays, it is becoming more and more common for mentally handicapped women to experience motherhood. Little research has been carried out on this subject in comparison with other countries, however. Movements fighting for social integration consider such women to have the same rights as other people, including the right to be a parent. However, the discourse of social workers on this topic questions the capacity of intellectually deficient women to fulfil the maternal ideal, creating a situation in which these women are subject to paradoxical expectations: as physiological mothers, they are by definition (according to the prevalent «social-action model»), good mothers; and yet as a mentally handicapped mothers they are considered to be mothers facing difficulties. This article explores the complex dynamics of this situation by examining the case of a woman having to deal with the prejudices of the professionals handling her case. 2007 artículo científico 2813-5237 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=664773324006 fr http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6647 Swiss Journal of Sociocultural Anthropology application/pdf Universität Bern Swiss Journal of Sociocultural Anthropology (Suiza) Vol.12 |
