This book argues that while notions of trauma in mental health hold
promise for the advancement of women's rights, the mainstreaming of
trauma treatments and therapies has had mixed implications,
sometimes replacing genuine social change efforts with new forms of
female oppression by psychiatry. It contends that trauma
interventions often represent a "business as usual" approach within
psychiatry, with women being expected to comply with rigid
treatment protocols, accepting the advice given by trauma "experts"
that they are mentally unstable and that they must learn to manage
the effects of violence in the absence of any real changes to their
circumstances or resources. A critique of trauma treatment in its
current form, Trauma, Women's Mental Health, and Social Justice
recommends practical steps towards a socio-political perspective on
trauma which passionately re-engages with feminist values and
activist principles.
