Sommario/riassunto |
|
Nominated for the 2012 Distinguished Publication Award of the Association for Women in Psychology!Why are women more likely to be positioned or diagnosed as mad than men?If madness is a social construction, a gendered label, as many feminist critics would argue, how can we understand and explain women's prolonged misery and distress? In turn, can we prevent or treat women's distress, in a non-pathologising women centred way? The Madness of Women addresses these questions through a rigorous exploration of the myths and realities of women's madness.</P |
