Regulating mental health and motherhood in contemporary welfare services

Anxious attachments or attachment anxiety?

Sue White

University of Manchester

Contemporary social services departments are characterized by the sepa ration of services to adults from those to children and families. Professional disquiet about the gulf between adult mental health and child-care services has led to demands for more communication and col laboration between sectors and also at the interface with health-provider agencies. However, in the current climate, this is not necessarily a progres sive move. For many women the prospect of involvement with both child- care and mental health services may prove to be something of a poisoned chalice, holding little hope of improved and more relevant services, but promising only increasing levels of coercion, censure and surveillance.
