have been in the vanguard of changing the ride....presents a
powerful and convincing case for a relational approach."

It is well known that depression occurs more often in women than
in men. It is the most commonly encountered mental health problem
among women and ranks overall as one of the most important women's
health problems.
Researchers have studied depression a great deal, yet women's
depression has rarely been the primary focus. The contexts of
women's lives which might contribute to their depression are not
often addressed by the mental health establishment, which tends to
focus on biological factors. Situating Sadness sheds light on the
influence of sociocultural factors, such as economic distress,
child-bearing or child-care difficulties, or feelings of
powerlessness which may play a significant role, and points to the
importance of context for understanding women's depression.
Situating Sadness draws on research in the United States and
other parts of the world to look at depression through the eyes of
women, exploring what being depressed is like in diverse social and
cultural circumstances. It demonstrates that understanding
depression requires close attention to the social context in which
women become depressed.
