Identity Construction and Illness Narratives in Persons with Disabilities
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-53903-0 (ISBN)
Drawing on narrative approaches to identity in psychology and social sciences, the bio-psycho-social model and a holistic approach to disabilities, the chapters in this book understand disability as constructed in discourse, as negotiated among speaking subjects in social contexts, and as emergent. By doing so, they amplify voices that may have otherwise remained silent and use storytelling as a way of communicating the participants' realities to provide a more in-depth understanding of their point of view.
This book will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology, medical humanities, disability research methods, narrative theory, and rehabilitation studies.

His recent research has centred on the narrative construction of self and autobiographical memory in cultural context, and gender and culture.
