“We must return to psychosis and its meaning systems again and again with every generation to understand the power it holds to oppress or illuminate the subjectivity of women who have supposedly gone mad. In Women and the Psychosocial Construction of Madness Marie Brown and Marilyn Charles have welcomed us to hear their voices once more and to listen with new ears.”
Aurélie Athan, Columbia University
Women and the Psychosocial Construction of Madness is thought-provoking collection of observations and insights about the challenges women of all socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds face in learning to cope with their psychosis-related symptoms.
