There is expanding global interest in the relationship between
the psychological and the social. The bringing together of affect,
emotion and feeling with social, political and cultural forces
offers a creative, innovative and rich set of ways of understanding
what Charles Wright Mills called the links between personal
troubles and public issues.
This book is an introduction to psychosocial studies. Drawing on
different approaches to the field, the book introduces the main
theoretical influences on psychosocial studies and their
development and impact, through for example concepts such as the
unconscious, self and identity, affect, emotion and the cultural
and social unconscious. It explores the theoretical frameworks of
psychosocial studies, and psychosocial research methods. The book
offers examples of case studies which illustrate the diversity of
psychosocial studies and what makes it distinctive. It asks: what
is social about the inner worlds of the psychological? What is
psychological and psychic about social worlds and social life?
This clear, accessible introduction will be of interest to
students and researchers across the social sciences and humanities,
in particular in sociology, psychology, cultural geography, social
policy and politics and cultural studies."
