Mad, Bad and Sad - A History of Women and the Mind Doctors (Paperback)

This fascinating history of mind doctors and their patients probes
the ways in which madness, badness, and sadness have been
understood over the last two centuries. 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."
