[Linganth] Narratives and Performances of "Wellness"

[Benjamin Smith]

In addition to the lovely pieces already cited, I'd recommend taking a look
at Jim Wilce and Sonya Pritzker's work. If I may, I'd also suggest browsing
some of my own work on "authenticity/real selfhood" in therapeutic
discourse (discover-able here: https://sonoma.academia.edu/BenjaminSmith).
Good luck with what sounds like an interesting project.
