More About the Author
Product Description
Review
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
