Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis of Erving Goffman’s sociology of person based on his interdisciplinary works «Asylums» and «Stigma». It is emphasized, that Goffman’s interdisciplinary psychiatric discourse, having independent value within the limits of the critical theory of psychiatry and antipsychiatry development, concerns interpersonal interactions and laws of social interaction and represents an organic part of his sociological project. Goffman considers mentally ill, stigmatized «self» as a crisis of social life and an indicator of its processes. The analysis is based on the Goffman’s works which are not translated and other western critical researches.
Keywords:
sociology of person, stigmatization, stigma, total institutions, mental illness, identity
