Significant Material published prior to 1 January, 2008
This book-length output contains a sustained narrative about the ‘re-scripting’ of placed mental ill-health identities. This narrative does draw upon material from 3 outputs published before 2008, but all of this material has been recast and is woven together with substantial new conceptual and empirical material. No chapters are direct reproductions of previous papers, although these papers are explicitly acknowledged. Chapters 1, 2 and 7 are completely new, while Chapters 3, 4 and 5 present some ideas and examples used before, but all now orientated within the broader overall narrative outlined above.
