Turning Troubles Into Problems: Clientization in Human Services

This book looks at how troubles can be transformed into specific diseases and dysfunctions, identifiable by professionals. Old, new, controversial, and dissenting approaches will be represented in contributions that address the experience of troubles and problematized identities in childhood and adolescence, the working years, and in later life.
