Surviving Identity: Vulnerability and the Psychology of Recognition

By Kenneth McLaughlin

Combining the psychological, social, and political aspects of the expression of individual distress and political dissent, this book provides a unique analysis of how concepts such as 'vulnerability' and 'trauma' have become institutionalized within politics and society, and also how many of the 'caring' measures that arise from this are justified.

This book will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate and advanced undergraduate students in critical psychology, sociology, social policy, politics, social movements, and mental health.
