This book brings together an international selection of prominent researchers at the forefront of this development. They reflect on this issue of individuality in the group, and on how thinking about social identity has changed. Together, these chapters chart a key development in the field: how social identity perspectives inform understanding of cohesion, unity and collective action, but also how they help us understand individuality, agency, autonomy, disagreement, and diversity within groups.

This text is valuable to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying social psychology where intergroup relations and group processes are a central component. Given its wider reach, however, it will also be of interest to those in cognate disciplines where social identity perspectives have application potential.

The Sage Handbook of Psychological Perspectives on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is a landmark volume that brings together global scholarship to examine the psychological foundations, challenges, and possibilities of DEI in today’s world. At a time when DEI efforts are increasingly under political and cultural scrutiny, this handbook offers a timely, evidence-based, and interdisciplinary resource for understanding and advancing equity and inclusion across societies.

Spanning 46 chapters and contributions from authors in 16 countries, the handbook explores the psychological dimensions of DEI while drawing on insights from sociology, political science, and related fields. It critically reviews the state of the literature, identifies promising directions for future research, and offers practical guidance for policy and practice. The volume is structured into seven thematic sections, covering foundational theories, dynamic processes, strategies for change, group-specific experiences, sectoral applications, and future directions.

With a commitment to intellectual rigor and respectful dialogue, the Handbook embraces the creative tensions that exist within DEI work. This handbook does not shy away from critique—it invites it, offering a space for reflection, disagreement, and growth. It is both a scholarly resource and a call to action for building more just, inclusive, and equitable societies.

Revisiting the Classic Studies is a series of texts that introduces readers to the studies in psychology that changed the way we think about core topics in the discipline today.  It provokes students to ask more interesting and challenging questions about the field by encouraging a deeper level of engagement both with the details of the studies themselves and with the nature of their contribution. 

Edited by leading scholars in their field and written by researchers at the cutting edge of these developments, each book details the original works and their theoretical and empirical impact, and then discusses the ways in which thinking and research has advanced in the years since the studies were conducted. 

Political Psychology: Revisiting the Classic Studies examines 17 influential studies that shaped how we understand political attitudes, identity, and behaviour. From Milgram to Sherif, each chapter explores the historical context, impact, and legacy of these works, showing how they continue to inform and challenge contemporary political psychology research.

***Winner of a 2021 APEX Award for Publication Excellence*** Written by leading social psychologists with expertise in leadership, health and emergency behaviour – who have also played an important role in advising governments on COVID-19 – this book provides a broad but integrated analysis of the psychology of COVID-19

It explores the response to COVID-19 through the lens of social identity theory, drawing from insights provided by four decades of research. Starting from the premise that an effective response to the pandemic depends upon people coming together and supporting each other as members of a common community, the book helps us to understand emerging processes related to social (dis)connectedness, collective behaviour and the societal effects of COVID-19. In this it shows how psychological theory can help us better understand, and respond to, the events shaping the world in 2020. 

Considering key topics such as:

This book offers the foundation on which future analysis, intervention and policy can be built.

We are proud to support the research into Covid-19 and are delighted to offer the finalised eBook for free, available from all major eBook retailers, including Amazon, Kobo, Ebooks.com and Google.  For those who prefer print, it is possible to purchase a paperback version.

"Jag fick en ganska cool idé 2010. Det handlade om att låta patienter inom psykiatrin lägga in sig själva när de behövde det och inte när en läkare bedömde att de behövde det. Jag kallade det för att få en "Fribiljett", för att beskriva hur lätt det var att lägga in sig istället för att skada sig. Detta sätt att tänka har därefter spridit sig över hela landet och går nu under namnet "självvald inläggning" eller "brukarstyrd inläggning".Självvald inläggning beskrivs ofta som en metod, men det började inte som en metod. Det började som ett vårdfilosofiskt resonemang om hur jag menar att vården bör tänka kring psykiatrisk vård och psykiatriska patienter. Detta vårdfilosofiska resonemang växte fram under mina möten med olika patienter, framför allt på den avdelning som kallades avdelning 24 på vuxenpsykiatrin i Växjö 2008–2012
