Constructing Panic
The Discourse of Agoraphobia
Lisa Capps
Elinor Ochs
Foreword by Jerome Bruner
In a marriage of psychology and linguistics, this book makes clear that for all its frustrations as an instrument, language is potent, the primary medium for symbolizing constructions of reality. The authors are sensitive to human experience and suffering, and their linguistic insights are subtle yet vivid.
--Leon Tec, M.D., Readings: A Journal of Reviews and Commentary in Mental Health
Extraordinarily creative and thought-provoking, Constructing Panic will open up new vistas for thinking about this disorder and related emotional disorders as well.
--Robert Emde, University of Colorado
