Lisa Appignanesi charts a story from the days when the mad were considered possessed to our own century when the official psychiatric manual lists some 350 mental disorders. Women play a key role here, both as patients—among them Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, and Marilyn Monroe—and as therapists. Controversially, Appignanesi argues that women have significantly changed the nature of mind-doctoring, but in the process they have also inadvertently highlighted new patterns of illness.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 208mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 30mmItem Weight: 678gAuthor: Lisa AppignanesiGenre: Society & CultureRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
