Narratives of siblinghood
It shuttered down our hearts ’
Cerebral palsy is the most prevalent motor disability in childhood, with an estimated prevalence as high as 10 per 1,000 live births in South Africa. Cerebral palsy impacts the mental health of the maternal caregiver, who often assumes the responsibility of the primary caregiver. The current study aimed to explore the mental health of primary caregivers of children living with Cerebral palsy in rural communities of the Limpopo Province, South Afr…
Something about us with us
Despite the fact that disability makes up the largest minority in the world, training in psychology in South Africa today does not give viable mention to the challenges associated to living with disability. Indeed, disability studies and psychology have had an awkward relationship for various reasons, resulting in lack of engagement with disability rights issues in the field of South African psychology. The article discusses what we see as the hi…
South African single mothers’ experiences of raising a child with a disability
The findings of the study are important for developing a thorough understanding of the needs of single mothers in this specific context as well as their daily experiences as mothers of children with disabilities. These needs include the necessity of psychosocial support and equipping single mothers with accurate knowledge about their child's disability so that they can make better accommodations for themselves and their child
Short and Locked Down
Living with a visible physical disability—specifically dwarfism—brings situational, psychosocial, and cultural challenges. The COVID-19 pandemic, and its restrictions, amplifies these dwarfism-related complexities, exposing the politics of visibility and exclusion, as well as spatial injustices. This autoethnographic paper deliberates these heightened disabling encounters in their various contextual layers—physical, social, and psychological. Fun…
Disabling discourses
Film, a powerful publicising agent of knowledge, can have detrimental ideological and material implications contributing towards the systematic exclusion of disabled people. The paper explores how acquired physical disability is constructed within three contemporary mainstream fiction films. Guided by theoretical disability models and stereotypic representations of disability, identified by seminal authors in the field, the discussion highlights …
Other” psychologists
Within the framework of the current drive to transform psychology in South Africa, this paper highlights “other” axes of identity that are arguably largely overlooked within the field. The conversation exposes the discipline of psychology – specifically within the South African context – and its many unexamined assumptions concerning “expected” identities of psychologists – specifically, those along heterosexual and able-bodied lines. By engaging…
Yarning as an Interview Method for Non-Indigenous Clinicians and Health Researchers
In this article, we discuss the origins, epistemology, and forms of Yarning as derived from the literature, and its use in research and clinical contexts. Drawing on three Yarns, the article addresses the extent to which non-Indigenous researchers and clinicians rightfully use and adapt this information-gathering method, or alternatively, may engage in yet another form of what can be described as post-colonialist behavior. Furthermore, we argue t…
The Uncanny Effect of Disability
Encountering disability can produce an experience of the uncanny in non-disabled people. ‘Uncanny’ refers to a psychological experience which is frightening, arousing a sense of uncertainty, dread, and horror; yet the observer is also left with a sense of familiarity. This article explores the phenomenon of the uncanny for mothers of children who are visibly physically disabled. It is argued that the gaze of others provokes a particular maternal …
Perceptions of Clergy Regarding the Provision of Spiritual Care in Lithuanian Hospitals for Cancer Patients
Sharing the Unsharable
We are a collective, a lot of us together, standing up”
Research centring South African black lesbian women’s identities has increased significantly in recent years. However, a politics of visibility (in academic and public spaces) has not secured equal status and human rights for many of these women. Instead, dominant discourses of blackwashing homophobia (re)produce colonial strategies of othering, associating their identities with violence, fear, shame and victimhood. Black lesbian women are often …
Correctional officers as participants
Action research methodology is well-suited to engaging with marginalised groups to inform policy and guide practice. Prisons are complex institutions with hierarchies of power; social systems that demand a research approach suited to social structure. The pilot project to be evaluated is designed to promote positive pregnancy and birth experiences for pregnant female prisoners and provide extraordinary learning opportunities for midwifery student…
The social construction of ‘deafness’
Individual realities and perceptions are embedded in a web of dominant social and cultural views which shape the individual. Mothers of deaf children therefore cannot be understood in isolation, and neither can their experiences, perceptions, and well-being. The present research investigated the construction of deafness through the experiences of mothers raising a deaf child and considered the manner in which these constructions impacted their we…
Maternal subjectivity in mothering a child with a disability
This focus offers a psychoanalytical understanding of the maternal subjectivities of mothers of children with a disability. The deficit assumptions and apparent splits in the existing literature on disability in general, and on mothers’ experiences of raising a disabled child, will be discussed. Specificities of this maternal subjectivity include mothers’ engagement in unconscious defence mechanisms, including part-object relating (splitting), mi…
What’s disability got to do with it? Changing constructions of Oscar Pistorius before and after the death of Reeva Steenkamp
Traditionally disability has been viewed in the popular imagination as either a highly positive or highly negative phenomenon. Disability and disabled people deserve to be seen in an integrated, holistic way and to have recognised as much diversity as characterises the human condition. The recent case of Oscar Pistorius fatally shooting Reeva Steenkamp has highlighted this tendency. Before this incident, Pistorius’ disability was viewed in a pred…
Legislative hegemony and nurse practitioner practice in rural and remote Australia
Nurse practitioners were introduced into Australia in 1990 to improve access to health care in isolated communities where medical doctors are scarce. The slow uptake of nurse practitioners in these areas has largely been the result of legislation not affording them access to provider numbers through the Medicare Australia Act 1973. This has denied nurse practitioners the opportunity to become primary care providers because they cannot prescribe m…
Growing up with a sibling with dwarfism
Despite the fact that society seems to have become more tolerant towards human diversity, skeletal dysplasia still carries some extent of stigmatization and negative stereotyping. There seems to be a lack of knowledge regarding psychosocial factors associated with skeletal dysplasia, specifically as it relates to interpersonal relationships. Since the negative attention directed at individuals with dwarfism may also have an impact on family membe…
