Around the world, students in higher education suffer from and deal
with psychosocial problems. This phenomenon is universal and seems to
be increasing. A vast number of students enter higher education with
problems like stress, anxiety or depression, or develop them during
their student lives, due to, for example, loneliness, family crisis,
mental health or study environment issues. Battling, belonging and
recognition are the focal points of this book’s analyses, showing
how students faced with psychosocial problems experience high degrees
of stigma and exclusion in the academic communities and society as
such. The book is based on research situated in a welfare society,
Denmark, where students have relatively easy access to higher
education and to public support for education as well as special
support for students with psychosocial problems. Taking a student
perspective, the book provides in-depth, qualitative analyses of what
characterizes student life, which specific psychosocial and other
problems students experience, how problems are constructed,
represented and become significant in relation to studying, and, not
least, how students deal with them. It will be of great interest to
researchers, academics and postgraduate students in the fields of
educational psychology, sociology of education and higher education.
It will also be of interest to supervisors and administrators in
higher education.
