Identity processes encompass biographical experiences, historical eras and cultural norms in which the self''s autonomy varies according to the flux of power relationships with others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIdentity Structure Analysis (ISA) draws upon psychological, sociological and social anthropological theory and evidence to formulate a system of concepts that help explain the notion of identity. They can be applied to the practical investigations of identity structure and identity development in a number of clinical, societal and cultural settings. This book includes topics on national and ethnic identification in multicultural contexts and gender identity relating to social context and the urban environment. Clinical applications that describe identity processes associated with psychological distress are also examined. These include anorexia nervosa and vicarious traumatisation of counsellors in the aftermath\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"One cannot be but impressed by the wide range of issues the ISA theory of Peter Weinreich very successfully encompasses. There are two principal explanations for the adaptability of the ISA framework. First of all the extended definition of personal identity that is at the core of ISA theory: “A person’s identity is defined as the totality of one’s self-construal, in which how one construes oneself in the present expresses the continuity between how one construes oneself as one was in the past and how one construes one-self as one aspires to be in the future.” (p.26). Secondly the high variety of operationalisations that the Identity Exploration computer software proposed by the author makes possible. The operationalisations are mainly based on bipolar ratings of the self, significant others, membership groups and other groups on a set of scales which may bear on past, present as well as future aspects of the described targets. A multiplicity of patterns of possible relationships in these descriptions are singled out and are theoretically defined.\" -\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eWillem Doise, Université de Genève,\u003c\/em\u003e European Bulletin of Social Psychology, \u003cem\u003eVol. 16, No. 2\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"This volume provides a coherent and interesting exposition of Identity Structure Analysis, a research procedure developed over the past several decades.
