Description
Mass Hysteria: Critical Psychology and Media Studies explores the complex relationship between psychology and media, drawing on post-structuralism, discursive psychology, postcolonial theory and feminism. This innovative approach examines how images of Otherness shape our understanding of normality and pathology.
The book presents a range of case studies to demonstrate the centrality of these images in shaping our perceptions of psychology and the media. By investigating this relationship, Mass Hysteria offers a new perspective on the field, moving beyond current debates and looking towards a fresh way of thinking about psychology and media.
