      abstract = {This book examines the emergence of psychologised  discourses of the self in education and considers their  effects on children and young people, on relationships both  in and out of school and on educational practices. It  undertakes a Foucauldian genealogy of the discourses of the  self in education in order to scrutinise the 'focal points  of experience' for children and young people. Part One of  the book offers a critical analysis of the discourses of  the self that operate within interventions of self esteem,  self concept, self efficacy and self regulation and their  incursions into education. Part Two provides  counter-narratives of the self, drawn principally from the  arts and politics and providing alternative, and  potentially radical, ways of when and how the self might  speak. It also articulates how teachers may support  children and young people in giving voice to these  counter-narratives as they move through school.
