| Summary: | The thesis comprises three parts - a literature review, empirical paper and critical appraisal. The literature review appraises studies examining interventions giving information (or diagnostic label) about Tourette Syndrome (TS) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder to parents, teachers and peers of individuals with the conditions. The empirical paper evaluates the impact of a psychosocial intervention (classroom presentation) for TS in a naturalistic setting from multiple perspective. It utilises a multiple case study design with primarily qualitative methods and quantitative questionnaires. The critical appraisal offers the author's reflections on the research process. |
