In her latest contribution to the growing field of emotion studies, Deidre Pribram makes a compelling argument for why culturalist approaches to the study of emotional "disorders" continue to be eschewed, even as the sociocultural and historical study of mental illness flourishes.
"This conceptualization of the relationship of cultural entities and emotions makes the book an interesting read and a valuable call for further inquiry."
- Dominique Autschbach, International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture, in KULT_online. Review Journal for the Study of Culture, Issue 50, 10 May, 2017
