Feminist mental health activism in England, c.1968-1995 provides
the first in-depth examination of feminist mental health activism
in England, employing original oral history interviews alongside
detailed case studies of unexplored feminist initiatives. It charts
how feminist activists in the late 1960s initially rejected
psychological approaches, before employing a range of therapies to
understand themselves and support one another. This book charts the
emergence of feminist mental health groups in the early 1970s, the
development of feminist therapy across the 1980s, and the influence
of feminist politics on national charity Mind in the 1990s. It
examines what participation in feminist activism felt like;
demonstrating how these emotions have influenced the construction
of its history. The book simultaneously forges a new direction in
the history of mental healthcare in postwar England, establishing
how feminists’ grassroots support for women redefined 'community
care'. -- .
