This book provides insights into the experiences of 'homelessness',
while exploring its psychological and socio-economic dimensions.
Hunger, addiction, and disability, which often accompany
homelessness, are brought into focus and discussed within the
frameworks of promoting social welfare and enabling human
capability in this volume. Based on the author's ethnographic and
quantitative research on homeless families living on the streets of
Delhi, this book identifies some of the most acute problems
associated with homelessness. It analyzes the causes of
homelessness and draws connections between social bonds and family,
socio-economic status, and psychopathology. It also includes
personal accounts of hardship and trauma which quantify the
systematic discrimination and marginalization that people living on
the streets face. The volume offers policy recommendations to
protect the right to self-determination, dignity, and self-efficacy
of the homeless and help rehabilitate them. It will be a useful
guide for students and researchers of social sciences specializing
in psychology, sociology, economics, and development studies. The
book will also be of interest to mental health professionals and
policy-makers in designing effective strategies.
