Books by Paula Nicolson

What does it mean to be human? This critical text from a well-respected author captures and interrogates the many models which have been developed to explore and explain human behaviour. Informed by sociological, psychological and biological perspectives, the book plots the key stages of the life course from childhood through to older age.

Paula Nicolson provides a critique of traditional medical and social science explanations of post-natal depression; she argues that far from it being an abnormal condition it is a healthy response to a series of losses.
