What damage does psychology do to people's lives, and what can we
do about it? How do we recognise and support resistance? Written by
expert practitioners-researchers, this co-authored book explores
how psychology legislates on normality and then uses its "expert"
knowledge to turn social marginalisation into pathology.
Chapters address a range of cultural and institutional arenas in
which inequalities structured around categories of gender, "race,"
class and sexuality are reproduced by psychological practices: from
self-help books to special hospitals, from school exclusions to
Gender Identity Clinics, from mothering magazines to mental health
services. But far from just documenting the damage, this book
identifies the ways in which both professionals and users of
services can act to counter psychology's abuses. As practical
intervention as well as theoretical critique, Psychology, Discourse
and Social Practice offers tangible examples of how change can be
effected. This book will be of interest to advanced undergraduates
and postgraduates in psychology, health, education and welfare
disciplines. It is also relevant to social workers and education
and health professionals, as well as professional psychologists.
