DONOSO, Claudia Calquín. Of mothers and experts: the psychology of post war period and the disciplining of maternal care. Summa psicol. UST (En línea) [online]. 2013, vol.10, n.1, pp. 119-129. ISSN 0718-0446.

The article reflects on the discursive construction of maternal care in Psychology. We discuss the emergence of this knowledge and its connections to the political and economic transformations occurred during the postwar period and the beginning of the Cold War. From a Foucauldian perspective, the general hypothesis guiding this reflection states that motherly care practices, rather than having an individual and spontaneous character, represent a product of power relationships and knowledge relationships both historically situated and a social practice through which, Psychology emerged as science and device of normality and subjectivity.
