Usually these conditions are interpreted clinically in terms of individualized symptoms and responded to discretely, as though for the most part unrelated to each other. However, these diseases also have a social and cultural profile that transcends their particular symptomologies and etiologies. Anxiety, depression and Alzheimer's are diseases related to disorders of the collective \u003cem\u003eesprit de corps\u003c\/em\u003e of contemporary society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMultidisciplinary in approach, the book addresses questions of how these conditions are manifest at both the individual and collective levels in relation to hegemonic biomedical and psychologistic understandings. Rejecting such reductive diagnoses, the authors argue that anxiety, depression and Alzheimer's disease, as well as other contemporary epidemics, are to be analysed in the light of individual and collective experiences of profound and radical changes in our civilization. A diagnosis of our times, \u003ci\u003eLate Modern Subjectivity and its Discontents\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to a broad range of scholars with interests in health and illness, the sociology of medicine and contemporary life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kieran Keohane,Anders Petersen,Bert Van Den Bergh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138213934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138213937\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Kieran Keohane","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065357218047,"sku":"9781138213937","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_74539f15-05b8-4700-b838-2d9f9a33324a.jpg?v=1768674664","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/late-modern-subjectivity-and-its-kieran-keohane-9781138213937","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
