It critically examines our understanding of this so-called "achievement generation", questioning whether today's youth are really worse off than previous generations and how we have come to believe that this is so. The author's wide-ranging investigation draws on a large body of research, as well as considering socio-political, historical and regional factors that might be affecting the resilience and mental health among young people. It also provides original psycholinguistic studies of popular media concepts associated with these issues including: the achievement generation, pathological perfection and the good girl syndrome. Deconstructing Scandinavia's "Achievement Generation" presents an engaging contribution to key debates around therapeutic culture and society in the 21st century. It will appeal to students and scholars of critical and social psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy; as well as to those working in education, social work and mental health. Ole Jacob Madsen is Professor of Cultural and Community Psychology at the University of Oslo, Norway. His previous works include: The Therapeutic Turn: How Psychology Altered Western Culture (2014), Optimizing the Self: Social Representations of Self-Help (2015) and The Psychologization of Society: On the Unfolding of the Therapeutic in Norway (2018) and The Routledge International Handbook of Global Therapeutic Cultures (2020) 001435850 546__ $$aTranslated from Norwegian. 001435850 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed April 28, 2021). 001435850 650_0 $$aTeenagers$$xMental health$$zScandinavia. 001435850 650_0 $$aAdolescent psychology$$zScandinavia. 001435850 650_0 $$aTeenagers$$zScandinavia$$xSocial conditions. 001435850 650_6 $$aAdolescents$$xSanté mentale$$zScandinavie. 001435850 650_6 $$aAdolescents$$xPsychologie$$zScandinavie. 001435850 650_6 $$aAdolescents$$zScandinavie$$xConditions sociales. 001435850 655_7 $$aLlibres electrònics.$$2thub 001435850 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001435850 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030725545$$z9783030725549$$w(OCoLC)1240492783 001435850 852__ $$bebk 001435850 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-72555-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001435850 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1435850$$pGLOBAL_SET 001435850 980__ $$aBIB 001435850 980__ $$aEBOOK 001435850 982__ $$aEbook 001435850 983__ $$aOnline 001435850 994__ $$a92$$bISE
