Spoiled Identity Theory

From the study of health and social care conditions it has been possible for medical specialists and professionals to create theories in which practitioners can draw an impact and comprehension of a client's circumstance. Such understandings may offer some pragmatic outcomes for enhancing certain individual results. Psychologists have found that people with disabilities often differentiate themselves and have trouble to feel connected within their wider society (K217, book 2, p28). This is highly confirmed by many disabled people of being excluded and outside the norm. Furthermore, these groups are often working to minimize the negative features to avoid being pushed to the margins of society. It is said in the case study that Peter always felt 'different', never fitting in, based on how his surrounding perceived health. Goffmann uses the term "Spoiled identity" to refer to an individual that is disqualified, or not fully accepted by the social world.
