Constructing the Social by Theodore R Sarbin
This comprehensive volume explores the concrete implications of social constructionist theory, and provides a clear overview of how to do social constructionist research and analysis. Leading psychologists and sociologists ground theory with practical examples to clearly illustrate the view that human beings are principally social agents rather than passive reactors or information processors. Each chapter analyzes the historical and cultural contexts implicit in a wide range of key issues including anxiety, the family, intelligence, ageing and depression.
`Provides diverse examples of constructionist analysis in practice, thereby illuminating both its virtues and its vices′ - Reviewing Sociology
