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.</PWomen and psychology.WomenMental healthWomenPsychologyWomenMental health.WomenPsychology.616.890082Ussher Jane M.1961-,1178160MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810475003321The madness of women3944575UNINA
