Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product Description Today, identities are created and selves are constructed in more organizational settings than ever before. Institutions large and smallfrom psychiatric hospitals, schools, and prisons to job clinics, counseling centers, and support groupsare virtually in the business of self construction.New institutions not only produce new forms of identity by presenting additional options for who and what we are but also place practical limits on the range of possible selves we can be.Institutional Selves acknowledges the socially practical self we live by. It brings together nine distinctive chapters that collectively address the institutional construction of troubled identities. From the victims and villains of television talk shows, to battered women in support groups, to theviolent selves of prison inmates, this book illustrates how selves are organizationally informed and structured in institutional practice. The institutional construction of selves is an especially interesting issue as social problems, their causes, and their victims are endlessly reinterpreted bythe various organizations devoted to helping resolve associated troubles. This book deals with fundamental and complex issues in a wellillustrated, multifaceted manner. It provides common vocabulary that offers students a consistent language for discussing the construction of troubled identities.The style of the book is accessible and appropriate to a wide range of undergraduate students in sociology. The book neither "talks down" to the novice nor strains the patience of more experienced researchers. It can be used to lay the foundation for discussion of how the self is constructed intoday's world by linking the social psychology of the self to the organizational processing of deviance and social problems.
