Many of these forms of support are delivered in groups. Participation in support groups generates benefits, sometimes referred to as the social cure, by enhancing a sense of belonging, social connection, and subjective identification with the group. Where an identity is stigmatized, subjective group identification may be resisted and this could potentially undermine the effectiveness of group\u2010based support. We used semi\u2010structured interviews with 12 partners of incarcerated men participating in group\u2010based support, to explore their identity constructions as well as their perceptions of the value of the support group. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analysed using a material\u2010discursive perspective. Findings emphasize the importance of shared experiences as a basis for connection with others in this context where subjective identification with an identity is problematic. Three themes are documented in the data that emphasize shared experience. These themes \u2013 Experiences of a \u2018situation\u2019 as the basis for social isolation; Experience of a \u2018situation\u2019 as the basis for inclusion; and Victims of circumstance \u2013 all orient to the role of shared experience in participants\u2019 talk. The theoretical discussion of these findings highlights the important role of shared experience as a basis for social connections for those affected by stigma. The implications of these findings for supporting families affected by incarceration are discussed, as is the more general potential of group\u2010based approaches for those affected by stigma.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/bjso.12341","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,26]],"date-time":"2019-09-26T02:49:05Z","timestamp":1569466145000},"page":"209-226","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":31,"title":["Shared experiences and the social cure in the context of a stigmatized identity"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"59","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7077-6598","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daragh","family":"Bradshaw","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Social Issues Research University of Limerick Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9082-2443","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Orla T.","family":"Muldoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Social Issues Research University of Limerick Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10964-009-9458-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/casp.2346"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","first-page":"1568","article-title":"Situating vulnerability in research: Implications for researcher transformation and methodological innovation","volume":"20","author":"Arditti J.
