The body has come to provide a central site for theory and debate
from social theory to cultural studies. This important and
compelling book looks beyond psychology's traditional biological
body to explore what insights can be gained from recent theories of
embodiment. Taking the body as inscribed by social and disciplinary
practices, leading contributors explore a wide range of
psychological topics in new and challenging ways. Questions
surrounding health, gender, history and culture are addressed in
contexts such as the psychology of pain, the treatment of anorexia
nervosa, and psychology's relationship to transgender activists.
The material in this volume was previously published as a Special
Issue of the journal Theory & Psychology.
