Specifically, his theories regarding the relationship between social place and mental symptoms (Insanity of Place) or his work on the notion of selfhood? I'm working on a project that examines diagnosis and treatment criteria used by clinicians, educators and parents in the study of attention deficit disorder and i'm trying to expand/apply on some of Goffman's concepts. The only works that I'm familiar with are - Asylums Interaction Ritual Presentation of Self in Everyday Life Relations in Public: Microstudies of the Public Order. thanks- Rosa Haritos Assistant Professor Department of Sociology 269 Hamilton Hall CB # 3210 University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3210 Phone: 919 962 6876
