Annotation

G. launches an attack on Bruner's 'mentalism'. She maintains that a mother's assistance in bringing a child to act in a certain way amounts to more than assisting the child in articulating his or her own intentions - no doubt norms are imposed in the process of interpreting the child's intentions.
