This study concerns the social‐interactional consequences of crying among survivors of stroke. The episodes of crying analyzed here took place during interviews including the patients, the patients’ spouses, and an interviewer. This investigation innovates on past studies within the sociology of emotions by concentrating on the interpersonal dimension of emotional displays of persons with brain damage. This study also contributes to research on stroke patients’ “pathological crying” from the field of neuropsychology because it concentrates on the social, and not only the neurological or otherwise individual‐level, nature of such crying. We first present overviews of both the sociology of emotions and the neuropsychology of poststroke emotionalism and address how our study contributes to both fields. We then discuss our participants and method of analysis and finally present our findings with respect to the techniques of the management of crying exhibited by the stroke patients’ interlocutors as well as by the patients themselves
