Bhargavi V. Davar
The collection of essays in this volume focus on the state of mental health of Indian women, with respect to social attitudes, cultural barriers, treatment, policies, safeguards, or lack thereof. The contributors ask fundamental questions: Is 'mental illness' a social, medical, legal, penal, historical, personal construct? Is mental disorder a disability? Do people living with a mental ailment have a 'memory' or the 'insight' to tell their own stories? In dealing with these questions, it seeks to provide a perspective on how women suffering from mental illness view themselves and their surroundings in India.
Suitable for: Apart from institutions, libraries, the work will be of interest to academics, scholars in social and policy studies, critical social sciences, families and care givers' associations, people with disabilities and their associations.
