Books by Claudia Malacrida

Provides an account of parents' experiences of grief and recovery after losing an infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or within the first month of life. This book describes the courage and creativity of parents who create and negotiate meanings that help them grieve, recover, and manage relationships.

An accessible and moving research account of parents' experiences of grief and recovery after losing an infant during pregnancy, childbirth, or within the first month of life, drawing from the sociology of emotions, health research and psychology, her own experience, and a range of qualitative methods.

Using rare interviews with former inmates and workers, institutional documentation, and governmental archives, Claudia Malacrida illuminates the dark history of the treatment of "mentally defective" children and adults at the Michener Centre in Red Deer, Alberta.

Drawing on both poststructural discourse analysis and feminist standpoint theory, Malacrida makes a critical contribution to qualitative methodologies by developing a feminist discursive ethnography of the construction of AD(H)D in two divergent cultures.
