| Abstract: | Reviews the book, Pathology and the postmodern: Mental illness as discourse and experience by Dwight Fee (2000). This provocative collection of short essays, edited and assembled by Dwight Fee, constitutes yet another useful addition to SAGE Publications’ Inquiries in Social Construction series (series editors, Kenneth Gergen, John Shotter, and Sue Widdicombe). Including the work of such postmodern and social constructionist thinkers as Kenneth Gergen, Mark Freeman, Vivian Burr, Jane Ussher, Simon Gottschalk, Steven Sabat and Rom Harré, this anthology sets out to explore the relationship between mental distress and specific cultural, economic, and historical contexts and trends.
