Download or read book Job Loss Identity and Mental Health written by Dawn R. Norris and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-13 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our jobs are often a big part of our identities, and when we are fired, we can feel confused, hurt, and powerless—at sea in terms of who we are. Drawing on extensive, real-life interviews, Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health shines a light on the experiences of unemployed, middle-class professional men and women, showing how job loss can affect both identity and mental health. Sociologist Dawn R. Norris uses in-depth interviews to offer insight into the experience of losing a job—what it means for daily life, how the unemployed feel about it, and the process they go through as they try to deal with job loss and their new identities as unemployed people. Norris highlights several specific challenges to identity that can occur. For instance, the way other people interact with the unemployed either helps them feel sure about who they are, or leads them to question their identities. Another identity threat happens when the unemployed no longer feel they are the same person they used to be. Norris also examines the importance of the subjective meaning people give to statuses, along with the strong influence of society’s expectations. For example, men in Norris’s study often used the stereotype of the “male breadwinner” to define who they were. Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health describes various strategies to cope with identity loss, including “shifting” away from a work-related identity and instead emphasizing a nonwork identity (such as “a parent”), or conversely “sustaining” a work-related identity even though he or she is actually unemployed. Finally, Norris explores the social factors—often out of the control of unemployed people—that make these strategies possible or impossible. A compelling portrait of a little-studied aspect of the Great Recession, Job Loss, Identity, and Mental Health is filled with insight into the identity crises that unemployment can trigger, as well as strategies to help the unemployed maintain their mental strength.

When her mother died instantly and unexpectedly, six-year-old Jane was left in the care of her drunken and disinterested father. Without proper guidance, this child put herself in a dangerous situation, narrowly escaping a gang rape. Without supervision, she broke laws, which could have resulted in juvenile detention. Without love, she yearned for a new mother, only to struggle with a stepmother who was mentally ill. Without fear, she lived on her own through three years of high school, while excelling academically and socially. Jane traveled difficult and hazardous roads through childhood and adolescence in her hometown of Paducah, Kentucky. Though she did not recognize it as a child, God's daily presence protected her and provided her needs, leading her to a beautiful destination in adulthood. Through her memoir, you will learn to examine your daily life, seeing God's presence in every step you take. Your eyes will be opened to powerful blessings occurring in your life--right now, today.
