Chapter 9: Using Discursive Psychology (DP) in Special Education & Mental Health

Chapter 9, written by Kristen Bottema-Beutel, serves as a response to the research presented in Chapters 3 and 5. She argues that interactions are not shaped solely by a student/patient's abilities, but are structured by pedagogical/therapeutic practices and the systems they are embedded in. Discursive Psychology (DP) reveals both interactional practices and institutional norms, providing insight into how disability/mental health categories are created and maintained by the service providers themselves.
