Drawing upon insights from feminist new materialism the book traces
the complex material-discursive processes through which women's
recovery from depression is enacted within a gendered biopolitics.
Within the biomedical assemblage that connects mental health
policy, service provision, research and everyday life, the gendered
context of recovery remains little understood despite the
recurrence and pervasiveness of depression. Rather than reducing
experience to discrete biological, psychological or sociological
categories, feminist thinking moves with the biopsychosocialities
implicated in both distress and lively modes of becoming well.
Using a post-qualitative approach, the book creatively re-presents
how women 'do' recovery within and beyond the normalising
imperatives of biomedical and psychotherapeutic practices. By
pursuing the affective movement of self through depression this
inquiry goes beyond individualised models to explore the enactment
of multiple self-world relations. Reconfiguring depression and
recovery as bodymind matters opens up a relational ontology
concerned with the entanglement of gender inequities and mental
(ill) health.
