Preview Strategic Interventions in Mental Health Rhetoric
STRATEGIC INTERVENTIONS IN MENTAL HEALTH RHETORIC Offering rhetorically informed strategic interventions, this innovative collec- tion moves beyond critiques of mental health issues, problems, and care. With sections that focus on methodological, cultural and legal, and pedagogical in- terventions, readers will find an engaging discussion of a discrete mental health phenomenon as well as a clear interventional takeaway in each chapter. Contributors make use of critical discourse analyses, ethnographic inquiries, autoethnographic inquiries, case studies, and textual analyses to engage such mental health research topics as postpartum depression among Chinese moth- ers; insanity pleas; anosognosia; issues of intimacy, access, and embodiment in research projects; community support groups; Black mental health; women in Alcoholics Anonymous; and mental health in faculty workshops and univer- sity online health tools. The authors and editors create scholarship on mental health that explicitly builds productive methodological, theoretical, and prac- tical bridges among scholars and teachers in the various specialties of writing and communication. This collection will interest scholars, students, and practitioners in health and medical humanities; rhetoric of health and medicine; health communica- tion; medical anthropology; scientific and technical communication; disability studies; and rhetorical studies generally. Lisa Melonçon is Professor of Technical Communication at the University of South Florida. She specializes in rhetoric of health and medicine and disability studies. Cathryn Molloy is Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in James Madison University’s School of Writing, Rhetoric and Technical Communication.
