Psychiatric Oppression in Women's Lives: Creative Resistance and Collective Diss

Description: Psychiatric Oppression in Women's Lives by Emma Tseris, Scarlett Franks, Eva Bright Hart Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book provides a comprehensive analysis of womens experiences within mental health services, demonstrating the need for a radical paradigm shift in how womens distress and experiences are understood. Drawing on extensive fieldwork on coercive mental health treatment, including interviews, participatory action research, arts-based research, and public sociology, the book centres the knowledge, skills, and creativity of psychiatrised women.Informed by intersectional feminism and critical mental health theory, the book explores the interlocking oppressions of psychiatric harm and patriarchal power, alongside womens survivorship and resistances. Areas covered include the pathologisation of womens emotions within mental health services, violence and deprivations in involuntary treatment, the surveillance of mothering, and social exclusions arising from psychiatric diagnoses. The book highlights the ability of collective and creative research processes to move beyond the task of documenting psychiatric harm, towards imagining rich alternatives to biomedical, therapeutic, and carceral practices in mental health. It offers a critique of the notions of benevolence and expertise, which are commonly used to justify psychiatric coercion. It will appeal to students and scholars working across the fields of critical mental health, sociology, social work, psychiatry, mental health nursing and gender studies.Emma Tseris is senior lecturer in Social Work and Policy Studies at the University of Sydney, Australia, researching feminist and critical mental health theory.
