Abstract

Defining the Family: “Paul is our son. We love him and we wanted him to have an ordinary life. Not much to ask for, an ordinary life ‐ but it can seem as distant as the moon when you are struggling to live with challenging behaviour.” A mother, quoted in the Mental Health Foundation Report (1997)
