Written by expert practitioner-researchers, this co-authoured book
explores how psychology legislates on normality and then uses its
"expert" knowledge to turn social marginalism 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. Far from documenting just the damage, this book
identifies the ways in which both professionals and users of
sevices can act to counter psychology's abuses. A practical
intervention as well as theortical critique, the text offers
examples of how change can be effected.
