Adversity and identity: Self-defining stories about work

Mary Ditton

Abstract

This research is part of a wider study into the impact of adversity on a person's identity. This research asked people who had experienced very significant psychological trauma at work to tell their story about the way they were affected and how they have come to understand the experience as time had gone on. How adversity at work impacts on identity is important for understanding mental health and designing interventions.
