Description
This latest book by one the world's leading protagonists in the field will be welcomed not just by psychologists but by students, academics and professionals interested in social constructionism across a wide range of subjects.
Social Construction in Context explores the potentials of social constructionist theory when placed in diverse intellectual and practical contexts.
It demonstrates the achievements of social constructionism, and what it can now offer various fields of inquiry, both academic, professional and applied, given the proliferation of the theory across the social sciences and humanities.
First order issues of concern within the academic world, objectivity, truth, power and ideology, are now being augmented by widespread developments in practice - therapeutic, pedagogical, organizational and political.
This book looks closely at these developments and examines both the positive potentials and limitations of social constructionist theory when applied to a variety of domains.
It has been written in an accessible and scholarly manner making it suitable for a wide-ranging readership.
