Reviews & Statements

Regarding chapter one, "'Who Can I Trust?': Mental Health Communication, Privacy Management, and Organizational Socialization":

"Case studies are well suited for educators to use in class to allow students to use a common text when applying theory and discussing complex issues to further understanding. This particular case is designed to generate discussion about how students and new employees make communication decisions when disclosing mental health concerns using two theoretical lenses: communication privacy management theory and organizational socialization. The case is ideal for teachers in a variety of fields and courses including communication, psychology, sociology, and health disciplines. The case follows Valerie as she enters college, addresses mental health concerns during college, and subsequently enters a professional organization as an employee. Through conversations, internal dialogue and events, the case reveals the ways communication shapes Valerie’s understanding of what, how, and with whom she shares her mental health needs."
