The Child Health Service: Governing Families of Pre-School Children in Western Australia

Pages 113-137 | Published online: 17 Dec 2014
 

Abstract

Child health governance of pre-school children during the twentieth century gradually changed from a central focus on physical health to an emphasis on mental health. This change of focus entails normative procedures and confessional techniques that involve families in the processes of their subjection. The human sciences are implicated in this shift that has affected child health nurses as well as their clients.
