It is the main argument of this book that emotional and
psychological distress is often brought about through the operation
of social-environmental powers which have their origin at a
considerable distance from those ultimately subjected to them. On
the whole, psychology has concerned itself very little with the
field of power which stretches beyond our immediate relations with
each other, and this has led to serious limitations on the
explanatory power of the theories it has produced. To illustrate
this, typical cases of patient distress in the 1980s are examined.
The decade when the right-wing of politics proclaimed there was no
such thing as society gave rise to psychological distress across
social classes, as long-standing societal institutions were
dismantled. This is as much a work of sociology, politics, and
philosophy, as it is of psychology. Fundamentals of an
environmental understanding of distress are outlined. A person is
the interaction of a body with the environment.
