Keeping children healthy--The intermediate domain

Berry Mayall

Social Science & Medicine, 1993, vol. 36, issue 1, 77-83

Abstract: This paper draws on two recent research studies to consider negotiations and relationships between parents and health staff as regards child health care and child rearing, to which each side contributes. The value of the concept of an intermediate domain, located between the public world of paid work and the private world of the family is explored to throw light on the character of these negotiations and relationships. The implications of gender for relationships between parent and health staff are considered.
