These contradictory emotions reflect the overlapping dissolutions of love, family, and mental health explored by Sarah Pinto in this visceral ethnography. Daughters of Parvati centers on the lives of women in different settings of psychiatric care in northern India, particularly the contrasting environments of a private mental health clinic and a wing of a government hospital. Through an anthropological consideration of modern medicine in a nonwestern setting, Pinto challenges the dominant framework for addressing crises such as long-term involuntary commitment, poor treatment in homes, scarcity of licensed practitioners, heavy use of pharmaceuticals, and the ways psychiatry may reproduce constraining social conditions. Inflected by the author's own experience of separation and single motherhood during her fieldwork, Daughters of Parvati urges us to think about the ways women bear the consequences of the vulnerabilities of love and family in their minds, bodies, and social worlds. 606 $aMentally ill women$xCare$zIndia 606 $aPsychiatric hospitals$zIndia 606 $aWomen$xMental health services$zIndia 606 $aPsychiatry$zIndia$xHistory$y21st century 610 $aAfrican Studies. 610 $aAnthropology. 610 $aAsian Studies. 610 $aFolklore. 610 $aGender Studies. 610 $aLinguistics. 610 $aMiddle Eastern Studies. 610 $aWomen's Studies. 615 0$aMentally ill women$xCare 615 0$aPsychiatric hospitals 615 0$aWomen$xMental health services 615 0$aPsychiatry$xHistory 676 $a362.2/20954 700 $aPinto$b Sarah$0634125 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789140903321 996 $aDaughters of Parvati$93848772 997 $aUNINA
