The Emotional Self by Deborah Lupton
Our concepts of our emotions are integral to our wider conception of ourselves, and are used to give meaning and provide explanation for our lives. This book brings together empirical research and social and cultural theory to examine the nature of the emotional self in western societies.
x`This addition to a growing number of texts which approach emotions and emotionality from a social constructionist perspective is well written, scholarly, accessible and interesting... There is both breadth and depth to this work.′ - Feminism and Psychology
