Mental health research has traditionally been dominated by genetic and biomedical explanations that provide only partial explanations. However, process research that utilises qualitative methods has grown in popularity. Situated within this new strand of research, the authors examine and critically assess some of the different contributions that social constructionism has made to the study of mental distress and to how those diagnosed are conceptualized and labeled. This will be an invaluable introduction and source of practical strategies for academics, researchers and students as well as clinical practitioners, mental health professionals, and others working with mental health such as educationalists and social workers.The Language of Mental Health,2946-4382Clinical health psychologyCritical psychologyCounselingPsychiatrySociology—MethodologyHealth PsychologyCritical PsychologyCounseling PsychologyPsychiatrySociological MethodsClinical health psychology.Critical psychology.Counseling.Psychiatry.Sociology—Methodology.Health Psychology.Critical Psychology.Counseling Psychology.Psychiatry.Sociological Methods.616.89O'Reilly Michelle767338Lester Jessica NinaBOOK9910254794303321Examining Mental Health through Social Constructionism2128264UNINA
