With a Foreword by Judith Butler.
Psychosocial studies challenges the traditions of psychology and sociology from a genuinely transdisciplinary perspective, there is no firm division between the 'psycho' and the 'social'. The book reflects this agenda in its varied theoretical and empirical strands, producing a newly contextualised and restless body of understanding of how 'psychic' and 'social' processes intertwine. The formation of the human subject as 'psychosocial subject' is re-examined and presented as not reducible to the traditional understandings derived from sociology and psychology.
Recenzijos
This edited book is a wonderful contemporary introduction to this body of psychosocial work, enabling readers to get a flavour of its subject matters, its methods and its theoretical points of departure. This book is likely to appeal to theorists and researchers, both student and well-established, from a wide range of disciplines within the humanities. In conclusion, this edited book offers a rich display of the best of contemporary psychosocial thinking. (Lisa Saville Young, PINS Psychologyin Society, Issue 52, 2016)
