Subjectivity and suffering in American culturepossible selves /[electronic resource] :Steven M. Parish. - 1st ed. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2008. - xvi, 216 p. - Culture, mind, and society.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [207]-210) and index.

Born into our lives : other people in the work of self -- What a tangled web she weaves : an American widow -- California dreaming : my days on the cancer ward -- Toward a psychology of possible selves -- The subjectivity of suffering.

This book explores the experience of suffering in order to shed light on the nature of the human self. Using an intimate life history approach, it examines ways people struggle to cope with experiences that canshatter their lives: a diagnosis of cancer, the death of a spouse, a parent's mental illness. The volume takes readers deep into private worlds of suffering in American culture, and invites reflection on what thesubjectivity of suffering tells us about being human. Addressing universal themes in a way that fully recognizes the individuality of those who experience a personal crisis, Parish shows how individuals personalize the cultural and psychological resources in which they find their possible selves.
