{"product_id":"constructing-panic-lisa-capps-9780674165496","title":"Constructing Panic: The Discourse of Agoraphobia","description":"\u003cp\u003eMeg Logan has not been farther than two miles from home in six years. She has agoraphobia, a debilitating anxiety disorder that entraps its sufferers in the fear of leaving safe havens such as home. Paradoxically, while at this safe haven, agoraphobics spend much of their time ruminating over past panic experiences and imagining similar hypothetical situations. In doing so, they create a narrative that both describes their experience and locks them into it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eConstructing Panic\u003c\/i\u003e offers an unprecedented analysis of one patient's experience of agoraphobia. In this novel interdisciplinary collaboration between a clinical psychologist and a linguist, the authors probe Meg's stories for constructions of emotions, actions, and events. They illustrate how Meg uses grammar and narrative structure to create and recreate emotional experiences that maintain her agoraphobic identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this work Capps and Ochs propose a startling new view of agoraphobia as a communicative disorder. \u003ci\u003eConstructing Panic\u003c\/i\u003e opens up the largely overlooked potential for linguistic and narrative analysis by revealing the roots of panic and by offering a unique framework for therapeutic intervention. Readers will find in these pages hope for managing panic through careful attention to how we tell the story of our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisa Capps, Elinor Ochs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674165497\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674165496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.87h x 5.73w x 0.63d","brand":"Lisa Capps","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925554299135,"sku":"9780674165496","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3d63bc3a-eae4-4bcf-85b5-0cf998dc1034.jpg?v=1681077960","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constructing-panic-lisa-capps-9780674165496","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
