“…The image of motherhood, as an ‘ideal’ time in the life of a woman and a standard of adult life facilitating realization of social expectations related to sex, is present in the responses of women with disability [1]. The role of a ‘disabled individual’ accepted in the process of socialization leads to a conflict with these ideals and standards:

A disabled woman is aware of the fact that she does not fall within social stereotypes and ideas about a ‘real woman’, and that her physical features are perceived by the environment as limiting or making her incapable of fulfilling her role.

The article discusses parenting of individuals with disability. It was based on the perspective of barriers, which (next to the perspective of risk and the functional perspective) marks the nature of discourse this theme takes in the literature on the subject and in practice. The perspective of barriers, related to the social model of disability, emphasizes the social factors important for the quality of parenting of individuals with disability. These factors were analyzed on the basis of available research results with mothers and fathers with disability, and able-bodied individuals who are part of their professional and non-professional environment. The article draws attention to the specificity of socialization of individuals with disability and its significance for preparations for family roles, social attitudes towards disabled individuals’ parenting, and their determinants. It also presents disabled parents’ experiences and the importance of realizing their role of a mother or father.

It means that social agreements are used to determine how parenting should be realized, to form values and norms which become the basis for its evaluation, and to prepare individuals to become parents, expecting at the same time that they will fulfill their parental responsibilities.…”

“…While men tend to feel a mixture of anger and excitement, women often suffer from shame and guilt (McCormack et al, 2014 ). In this sense, guilt and shame in women with GD have been explained by the fact that it is more stigmatising for women than for men to suffer from this disorder (Del Rosal et al, 2020 ; Macía & Estévez, 2023 ; Soares & Carvalho, 2009 ). This, in turn, may also help to justify the under-diagnosis of female gamblers and the fact that they seek less therapeutic help (Baño et al, 2021 ; Belloch et al, 2020 ; Lamas et al, 2018 ).…”

A growing body of research indicates differences between men and women with gambling disorder. However, although alexithymia, gambling motives or abandonment have been associated with GD, women’s clinical profile remains unexplored. This study aims, firstly, to explore mean differences in gambling motives (i.e. enhancement, coping and social [SOC]), the early maladaptive abandonment schema, alexithymia and depression in women and men with GD. Secondly, to analyse the correlation between the aforementioned variables as a function of sex. Thirdly, to examine the predictive role of gambling motives, early abandonment schema and alexithymia in depression as a function of sex. Lastly, to analyse the mediating role of COP between the early maladaptive abandonment schema and depression in women with GD, and the mediating role of ENH and the early maladaptive abandonment schema between alexithymia and depression in men with GD. The sample comprised 108 adults with GD diagnosis, of whom 60 were women and 48 were men. Regression and mediation analyses were carried out to explore possible sex differences in GD, through the SPSS programme. Results showed that depressive symptoms are predicted by alexithymia in men with GD and by the early maladaptive abandonment schema in women with GD. Regarding mediation analyses, the results suggest that COP mediated the relationship between early abandonment schema and depressive symptoms in females; and ENH and abandonment schema mediated the relationship between alexithymia and depressive symptoms in males. These results provide evidence of the relevance of considering sex differences when establishing therapeutic strategies in GD rehabilitation.

“…I used qualitative research methods, which play an important role in psychological and sociological feminist studies (Olesen, 2007;Prilleltensky, 2003;Willig, 2013) and in research on disability (Mayes, Llewellyn, & McConnell, 2011;Morris, 1995;Soares & Carvalho, 2009). I analysed the information shared during the participant interviews using analytical methods that align with grounded theory (GT; Charmaz, 2006;Glaser, 2001;Schütze, 2011), with a particular emphasis on symbolic interactionism (Strauss & Corbin, 1990).…”

How Polish Women With Disabilities Challenge the Meaning of Motherhood

In this qualitative study, I offer a feminist reflection on motherhood from the perspectives of 25 women with various types of physical and sensory disabilities. Disability was treated not only as an individual experience but also as a social construct. I conducted 25 non-standardised narrative interviews with women with various types of physical disabilities. Using grounded theory method, with a particular emphasis on symbolic interactionism, I identified three important themes from the nonstandardised narrative interviews: the effects of insufficient health care on pregnant women, the lack of acceptance and support for mothers, and a welfare system inadequate to the needs of mothers. These themes affect the way Polish women with disabilities experience motherhood. Findings highlight the different ways that mothers with disabilities challenge the prevailing normative categories of gender and disability and, in so doing, demythologise and delegitimise the traditional Polish model of motherhood. While this study points to needed reforms in Poland to support women with disabilities, it also reveals a model of motherhood based on interdependence and mutual care. The women with disabilities in this study identify new possibilities for all families.
