This definitive book was the first to address critical questions about women and mental health. Combining patient interviews with an analysis of women's roles in history, society, and myth Chesler concludes that there is a terrible double standard when it comes to women's psychology. In this new edition, she addresses head-on many of the most relevant issues to women and mental health today, including eating disorders, social acceptance of antidepressants, addictions, sexuality, postpartum depression, and more. Fully revised and updated, Women and Madness remains as important today as it was when first published in 1972.

Toneladas de reflexões

Pense num livro muito questionador, que foi lançado pela primeira vez em 1972 e continua muito atual e necessário. Leitura obrigatória para aquelas e aqueles que desejam ampliar suas perspectivas sobre os papeis socias atribuidos aos generos e suas consequencias desastrosas.
