Damaged goods? Clinical conversations and the cultural construction of cocaine-exposed children in foster care

"Early on in the ""crack era""--beginning roughly in 1985--a ""cocaine-baby syndrome"" characterized by jitteriness, inconsolability and poor social bonding was reported as were various birth defects, in the children of multiply addicted women who used cocaine. By the early 1990s, the reality of these effects and their causal link to cocaine was largely taken for granted."
