{"product_id":"narrative-and-mental-health-jarmila-mildorf-9780197620540","title":"Narrative and Mental Health: Reimagining Theory and Practice","description":"Narratives surrounding mental health are intertextually and culturally embedded in a constantly evolving web of narratives, whether it is in research and treatment practices in psychology and psychiatry, the professional categorization and definition of mental health issues, people's own definitions of mental health, or medial as well as artistic representations of different mental health states. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eNarrative and Mental Health: Reimagining Theory and Practice\u003c\/em\u003e investigates the nexus between narratives and mental health from an interdisciplinary perspective, offering a dialogue between psychology and psychiatry and other fields such as social work, linguistics, philosophy, literary studies, and cultural studies. Contributors from various disciplines and countries across the globe address questions surrounding mental health and illness in individual as well as cultural stories while also attending to their mutual influence. Narrative interviews, narrative psychology, narrative therapy, diary writing, and psychodynamic processes are explored alongside oral history, news media, graphic novels, film, fiction, and literary autobiographies. At the same time, the volume acknowledges the potential limitations of these narrative paradigms, especially when coupled with normative expectations of truthfulness, coherence, and comprehensiveness. From here, mental health emerges as a dynamic concept that is subject to change over time and which deserves close attention both in research and practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jarmila Mildorf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019762054X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197620540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.44h x 6.37w x 0.93d","brand":"Jarmila Mildorf","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075819270399,"sku":"9780197620540","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92be326a-71fd-4083-aaa5-cbe3d474c854.jpg?v=1685461624","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/narrative-and-mental-health-jarmila-mildorf-9780197620540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
