Interdisciplinary in approach, this book combines philosophy,
sociology, history and psychology in the analysis of contemporary
forms of suffering. With attention to depression, anxiety, chronic
pain and addiction, it examines both particular forms of suffering
and takes a broad view of their common features, so as to offer a
comprehensive and parallel view both of the various forms of
suffering and the treatments commonly applied to them. Highlighting
the challenges and distortions of the available treatments and
identifying these as contributory factors to the overall problem of
contemporary suffering, Empty Suffering promises to widen the
horizon of therapeutic interventions and social policies. As such,
it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences and
humanities with interests in mental health and disorder, social
theory and social pathologies.
