Together, the findings reveal a disturbing social trend where multiple diagnoses (e.g., ADHD, ODD, CD, anxiety, bipolar disorder and Aspergers Syndrome) and psychiatric medications are used to both "explain" and "contain" the  behaviour of children and young people living in disadvantaged communities and distressed families.

To enhance exchange of knowledge and dialogue, we combine presentation, with group discussions and discussions in plenum together with the presenter. Associate professor Line Lerche Mørck will introduce, comment in relation to Danish context and mediate discussions.

Dr. Linda Graham is a senior researcher at the Centre for Research on Social Inclusion, Macquarie University, Australia. Her doctoral research investigated the relationship between educational policies, pedagogical practice and the increase in diagnosis of behaviour disorder, her research in inclusive education is informed by sociological and philosophical perspectives (continental and political philosophy). Her work is informed by the desire to better understand processes of inclusion and exclusion that lead to the marginalisation and pathologisation of children and young people.
