Each volume presents a thematic approach to different topics in social sciences ranging from narrative therapy, poststructuralism, humanities and much more.

The e-book makes an invaluable contribution to gender and sexuality studies, engaging with queer theory to reconceptualize everyday interactions. The scholars in this book respond to J. Halberstam’s call to engage in alternative imaginings to reconceptualize forms of being, the production of knowledge, and envisage a world with different sites for justice and injustice. This unique interdisciplinary text provides challenging new frameworks for generating knowledge.

This book looks at developing the capacity to apply poststructuralism in a setting where other discourses are dominant and at developing strategies for working with students and staff to enable them to become people who can begin to acquire a sense of agency so that they begin to develop strategies to undo their marginal positioning.

This informative book problematizes the meaning of the phrase ‘normalization processes and practices’, that for an Anglophone audience may smack of functionalism. It shows how the adoption of normalization processes and practices in Sweden in the post-World War II era create an integrating and equalizing context but also exclude certain groups of people.

This book is a personal, political and philosophical exploration of doing both therapy and research. It is an enquiry into how the process of therapy shapes the therapist as well as the client, and how the researcher is shaped by her research. A guiding theme throughout the book is the proposal, following Foucault and Nikolas Rose, that psychotherapy is constituted, through forms of modern power, as a crucial contemporary site of both governance and resistance.
