Women's Mental Health: Resistance and Resilience in Community and Society de Nazilla Khanlou

Women's Mental Health: Resistance and Resilience in Community and Society: Advances in Mental Health and Addiction

Editat de Nazilla Khanlou, F. Beryl Pilkington
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 aug 2015
​This book focuses on the social and societal context of women's mental health. Drawing from multidisciplinary perspectives and scholarship, it pays particular attention to how women's mental health is experienced at the personal level, yet it is influenced by their relationships and interacts with the larger societal context (such as prevailing gender equality policies, income distribution, role burden, peace and security). Specific attention is given to the positive aspects of women's mental health (such as agency, resilience) and how women’s personal relations across diverse domains (such as family, work, neighbourhoods) are constructed and influenced by, and in turn influence, broader societal structures/ policies/ opportunities. A unique feature of this book is that, at the end of each chapter, there is a Response section written by a non-academic such as a community member, practitioner or policy maker in which the invited authors respond to the chapter texts in the form of narrative, poetry, and/or prose, according to their various backgrounds, interests, and experiences.​

Recenzii

“Women’s Mental Health is an important resource for mental health professionals, policy makers, and mental and public health administrators. It provides a wealth of data, insight into women’s lived experiences, culturally sensitive recommendations, and practical solutions to the range and variety of circumstances that have a profound and lasting impact on women and their families and communities.” (Janet Etzi, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (14), April, 2016)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book analyzes systemic problems affecting women's mental health--social inequities, marginalization, racism, and displacement among them--and proposes holistic real-world approaches to practice and policy. Women’s experiences from around the globe are examined including Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, India, Iran, Italy, Ivory Coast, Nepal, Pakistan, Portugal, Rwanda, Senegal, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States. Together, the chapters in this book deepen our understanding of the  intersections of gender, race, culture, age, class, immigration status, and motherhood. Ongoing issues such as violence against women, maternal depression, eating disorders, and the stressors affecting female health care workers are discussed in familial and societal contexts. Contributors from a range of disciplines also identify relevant mental health assets including resilience, social support, and culturally-based healing, and suggest changes that sectors and systems must make to recognize women’s diversity and develop and implement appropriate policies and services.
Included in the international and interdisciplinary coverage:
  • Structural Determinants of Women’s Mental Health
  • Community, Social Support, and Women’s Mental Health 
  • Health and Social Services, Resistance, and Women’s Mental Health
  • Displacement, Migration, Resettlement, and Women’s Mental Health
  • Poverty, Marginalization, and Women’s Mental Health
  • Motherhood, Resilience, and Women’s Mental Health
At a time when barriers to women's well-being are recognized as a global health crisis, Women's Mental Health is a profound source of information for researchers in psychology, public health, and educational policy.
