The book "Examining Mental Health through Social Constructionism" offers a comprehensive analysis of the social construction of mental health and the language associated with mental distress. It highlights traditional approaches to mental health research, which often rely on genetic and biomedical explanations, showing that these only cover part of the reality. The authors, Michelle O'Reilly and Jessica Nina Lester, engage with the growing importance of qualitative methods in research and critically examine how social constructionism contributes to the analysis of mental distress. This work is aimed at academics, researchers, students, and professionals in the field of mental health, providing valuable insights and practical strategies for all those working in this area.
