Excellent- More about Discursive Psychology and Disability
This book explores the application of discursive psychology (DP) to disability and the everyday and institutional constructions of bodymind differences. It brings together theoretical and empirical work to illustrate how DP can be leveraged to make visible nuanced understandings of disability and difference writ large. The authors argue that DP can attend to how realities are made relevant, dealt with, and negotiated within social practices, and can highlight the nuanced and frequently taken for granted ways in which disability is made real in both everyday and institutional talk. It aims to expand conceptions of disability and deepen the critiques of medicalization.

This comprehensive book delves into the realm of discursive psychology (DP) and its profound implications for understanding disability and the intricate constructions of bodymind differences in everyday life and institutional contexts. By seamlessly merging theoretical and empirical insights, the authors illustrate how DP can be harnessed to unveil nuanced perspectives on disability and difference, expanding our understanding of these phenomena.
The authors argue that DP possesses the unique ability to attend to the ways in which these realities are made relevant, addressed, and negotiated within social practices. They contend that DP can be employed to uncover the intricate and often overlooked ways in which disability is enacted in both everyday and institutional discourse, highlighting the embodied nature of differences in social interactions.
Through its comprehensive exploration, this book showcases that DP scholars can transcend the realm of theory and reveal the tangible mechanisms through which disabilities and differences are brought to life, resisted, contested, and negotiated in the everyday social interactions of individuals. It aims to broaden our conceptualizations of disability and to deepen our critical examinations of medicalization, challenging prevailing notions and fostering a more inclusive and empathetic understanding of human diversity.
