Books in the Rutgers Series on Self and Social Identity series

This volume examines how our understanding of self and social identity is linked to physical health and disease. Topics include: the self-regulation model and cultural system through which the individual experiences illness and treatment; behaviour patterns; and the impact of physical illness.

This volume presents an analysis of some of the most fundamental issues facing scholars studying self and identity. Chapters represent the diverse issues, perspectives and controversies inherent in the recent wave of interest in the self, and suggest avenues of analysis and empirical research.

How are group-based identities related to intergroup conflict? How do intergroup conflicts change people's identities? This book presents an interdisciplinary analysis of the issues involved in identity and conflict.
