Presenting a range of case studies drawn from care and nursing settings around the world, this book brings together work from researchers and practitioners within the social and health sciences, the caring professions and psychotherapy, to expose the important impact of the concept of abjection, which has been silenced in the health sciences.

Drawing together the latest research from Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US, this title engages with the work of critical theorists such as Bourdieu, Butler, Foucault, Latour, and Zizek, amongst others, to address the issue of violence and theorise its workings in creative and controversial ways.
