Breastfeeding as a Moral Imperative
In recent years, breastfeeding has been heavily promoted in the UK. This has been partly premised on the health benefits for women and infants, but there has also been a strong rhetoric of `the natural' that has surrounded childbirth practices more generally. Some feminist thought has been influential in promoting breastfeeding as a way of `resisting' the medicalization of childbirth and motherhood, associating it with women's personal agency and…
Childbirth, Complications and the Illusion of `Choice
Over the last 30 years or so, feminists have developed a strong and influential critique of the medicalization of pregnancy and childbirth. Within Britain, especially among middle-class circles, this has resulted in the predominance of a strong cultural push towards `natural' childbirth in which `birthing mothers' resist medical and technological procedures in an attempt to preserve a sense of control and `empowerment' over the course of pregnanc…
Making sense of ‘barebacking’
Why do some gay men continue to engage in unsafe sexual practices despite the known and widely publicized risks of HIV infection? Dominant models of health promotion have been criticized for reducing this complex psychosocial issue to a question of instrumental technique — ‘use a condom every time’. Accordingly, there has recently been an attempt to develop a deeper understanding of unsafe sexual practices by paying attention to the ‘subjective m…

Would You Consider Yourself a Healthy Person
Recent psychological, sociological and cultural theory has suggested that health has become a moral phenomenon. The main aim of this paper is to illustrate how focus groups constitute a particularly useful method of investigating the way in which people routinely engage in moral reasoning in the course of conversations and debates regarding health related issues. The four focus groups drawn upon in this study formed part of a larger study whose a…

The perils of health promotion and the 'barebacking' backlash
This article seeks to explore the idea that contemporary health promotion and education may actually be instrumental in creating the very conditions that encourage and perpetuate people’s ‘risky’ health practices. Using the example of gay men, unsafe sexual practices and the contemporary ‘barebacking craze’, it argues that ‘health promotion’ is increasingly being oriented to by gay men as something to ‘resist’ or ‘transgress’. The implications of…
How to use a condom
This paper uses two specific 'moments' in the history of the UK HIV/AIDS health promotion response to illustrate the way in which social narratives and moralities underpin different safer sex messages. Drawing on narrative psychological theory (see Crossley 2000a, Maclntyre 1981, Taylor 1989), it works from the premise that the language and cultural images used in health promotion campaigns are inscribed within predominant narratives and stories.…
The ‘Armistead’ project
Recently emerging evidence indicates that some gay men / men who have sex with men (MWHSWM) are continuing to engage in unsafe sexual practices despite over a decade of health education/promotion. Accordingly, there have been recent attempts to ‘revamp’ health education/ promotion programmes as a means of encouraging participation. One way of doing this has been through government facilitation of ‘community’ based health promotion programmes. The…

Narrative Psychology, Trauma and the Study of Self/Identity
This paper aims to provide an overview of a narrative psychological approach towards the study of self and identity. The narrative psychological approach can be classified as broadly social constructionist insofar as it attempts to examine the cultural structuration of individual experience. However, building on recent criticism of certain social constructionist approaches (such as discourse analysis), it is argued that these approaches tend to l…
Deconstructing Autobiographical Accounts of Childhood Sexual Abuse
Much of the literature on ‘surviving’ childhood sexual abuse has traditionally relied on approaches which assume a reflective transparency between the original experience and retrospective accounts of trauma. In recent years, however, social constructionist approaches have encouraged the deconstruction of personal accounts of childhood sexual abuse as a means of explicating the cultural narratives underlying the constitution of such experiences. …

Making Sense of HIV Infection
This article is based on research conducted with a group of HIV positive individuals who had been living with the diagnosis for an average of nine years. Traumatic events such as serious illness can have a devastating impact on a person's life, especially with regard to basic 'existential' dimensions such as time, meaning and sense of control. This means that one of the primary challenges for the individual learning to live with such an illness c…

Women living with a long-term hiv positive diagnosis
HIV, empowerment and the sick role
Through examination of a number of interview transcripts conducted with individuals living relatively long-term with an HIV-positive diagnosis, this paper explores the implicitly morally loaded dimension of the interview situation. In particular, we are concerned with the way in which a specific sample of HIV-positive individuals orient both to 'the sick role' and to an 'empowerment discourse' which challenges that role, and how they negotiate th…

Sick Role' or 'Empowerment'? The Ambiguities of Life with an HIV Positive Diagnosis
This paper addresses the relevance of Parsons' concept of the 'sick role' to the experience of illness in contemporary society by building on recent research, which suggests that the increasing predominance of chronic disease changes the temporal structure of the experience of illness. This has important implications for the structure of social expectations and obligations associated with the 'sick role'. In particular, recent advocates of 'insid…
