Around the world, students in higher education suffer from and deal
with psychosocial problems. This phenomenon is universal and seems
to be increasing. A vast number of students enter higher education
with problems like stress, anxiety or depression, or develop them
during their student lives, due to, for example, loneliness, family
crisis, mental health or study environment issues. Battling,
belonging and recognition are the focal points of this book's
analyses, showing how students faced with psychosocial problems
experience high degrees of stigma and exclusion in the academic
communities and society as such. The book is based on research
situated in a welfare society, Denmark, where students have
relatively easy access to higher education and to public support
for education as well as special support for students with
psychosocial problems. Taking a student perspective, the book
provides in-depth, qualitative analyses of what characterizes
student life, which specific psychosocial and other problems
students experience, how problems are constructed, represented and
become significant in relation to studying, and, not least, how
students deal with them. It will be of great interest to
researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of
educational psychology, sociology of education and higher
education. It will also be of interest to supervisors and
administrators in higher education.
