Resumo:

Shirley Jackson's fiction continues to be placed within the gothic horror genre because of its supernatural and horror images. I contend the major focus of her work is her critique of the social norms constructed for women by an archaic and inauthentic patriarchial system of rules and domestic expectation for women that result in madness for the resisting female.

Research shows that women are at higher risk for being victimized simply because of their gender. Women with mental illness living independently are especially vulnerable, since they underreport victimization and underutilize available resources. This study evaluated the benefits of educating women with mental illness about safety and violence. Twenty women utilizing outpatient services at two community mental health centers participated in one of two 12-week groups: 15 received an educational curriculum and 5 a control condition. Outcomes were assessed using pretest and posttest measures of quality of daily life, self-esteem and perceived control over life events, awareness of available resources to them as women, awareness of violence, attitudes about safety, and confidence in abilities to protect themselves. The greatest improvement was in the curriculum women's awareness of resources. Intra-group variability, a small sample size, and other unexpected complications precluded a definitive evaluation of the curriculum, but overall results suggest further research in this area would be beneficial.

This dissertation presents an historical overview of the interdependent representations of gender, class, ethnicity, race, nationality, sexuality, and (dis)ability in a selection of films and first-person written autobiographical texts from the 1940s to the early twenty-first century. Cinematic and written autobiographical representations of “mental illness” reflect and shape various models of psychological trauma and wellness. I explore the ways that these two genres of representation underscore, exert influence upon, and interrogate socio-cultural understandings and interpretations of deviance and normalcy, madness and sanity, and pathology and health. Some models of health and illness carry more ideological weight than others, and thus differentially contour public policy formation and the materiality of people’s daily lives. My project is distinct from other kinds of scholarship on the subject of women’s “madness.” Whereas scholarship has been written on “madness” and cinema, and on “madness” and autobiography, this related academic work has not consistently drawn linkages between multiple genres or utilized interdisciplinary methodologies to critically explore texts. Feminist scholars who address the interconnections between autobiographies and cinematic representations often pay only limited attention to psychiatric survivors. I draw parallels and distinctions between these genres, based upon my training in social work, cultural studies, film and autobiography theory, medical and linguistic anthropology, and disability studies. My perspective hinges upon my longstanding involvement with and commitment to the subject of women’s “madness” in both personal and professional arenas.

In Middle Eastern countries the authority of male guardians means women often endure significant social and gender inequalities, which can contribute to mental health problems, and impact on the mental health care received. This exploratory, qualitative study investigated mental health care delivery to Middle Eastern women in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Nurses (7), psychiatrists (3) and clinical psychologists (3) from a mental health hospital, student nurse interns (6) from a public women’s university and mental health care service users (5) and their family members (7) from a charitable organisation underwent semi-structured interviews. Their mental health beliefs, views and perceptions regarding the provision of mental health care to Middle Eastern women were explored. Transcripts were analysed using grounded theory, underpinned by the theory of intersectionality. Social identities of culture, religion and gender emerged as particularly important intersecting influences. Social class was less prominent. Gender inequalities and family control significantly impacted on women’s mental health and the care they received. Women violating cultural norms risked psychiatric labelling, and being interned, whilst those with genuine mental health problems were stigmatised and sometimes rejected by families. Most health care professionals voiced frustration over cultural norms, which compromised the care they provided. Nevertheless, they respected service users’ behaviours to earn trust and facilitate a therapeutic relationship. They appeared to be subconsciously tailoring the biomedical model of care to ensure appropriate and effective, culturally competent and culturally safe care. Gender inequalities, marital stress, polygamy, supernatural beliefs, folk/faith healing, lack of knowledge, compassion fatigue and custodial versus therapeutic care also emerged as important themes. These findings informed recommendations for best practice in the care of women with mental health problems in Saudi Arabia.

Background: The literature on obstetric complications in mental illness mothers found mixed results. Recent evidence suggests a positive relationship. Aims: To investigate the pregnancy outcomes of mothers with a history of psychotic disorders. The researcher considers whether births to mothers with psychotic disorders have an increased risk of obstetric complications. Method: A retrospective cohort study was carried out using National Health Insurance Database. Obstetric complications were studied in all women in Taiwan who gave birth during 1996-2002 and also had been admitted to a psychiatric department before pregnancy. Controls were recruited form a random sample of all deliveries in the general population without serious mental illness history. Major diagnosis were stored and retrieved by means of ICD-9-CM code and recorded to case-control status for 1707 cases and 5100 controls. Results: Overall, Women who had presented to psychiatric services before pregnancy had a greater frequency of labour/delivery complications than controls. Among various diagnostic mental disorders in case group, schizophrenic women had the highest risks. 30.70% of case group had significant increases in Cesarean section compared with 28.96% in the control group. The risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes were even after adjusting for age and hospital degree in women with schizophrenia compared to women in the control group (e.g., abortive pregnancy; RR 2.15, 95%CI 1.09-4.27, pregnancy mainly complication; RR 1.51, 95%CI 1.22-1.87, labor and delivery complication; RR 1.27, 95%CI 1.05-1.54). The risks of labor and delivery complication were significantly elevated throughout the analyses in a multiple regression model. There were no seasonal differences in the frequency of specific complications. Conclusions: Schizophrenia in the mother implies an increased risk for poor pregnancy outcome, not fully explained by maternal factors. Mental illness women should keep attending antenatal care visits and to offer the pregnancy schizophrenic women specific recommendations, in order to prevent potential harmful interventions that should be avoided. However, unknown pathological mechanisms and possible confounding by social factors and perinatal stress requests further explorations.

This chapter studies Balzac's Louis Lambert (1832), in which the character of Lambert is a (possibly) mentally ill genius who retreats into a world to which only his erstwhile fiancée has access. Through his writings Balzac attempts to examine and portray a certain topic on the matter of geniuses: the essential role played by women in their survival. Louis Lambert ends with the destruction of the main character, a male genius who nonetheless exemplifies all Balzac's own ideas about genius, and is also its most complete and elaborate theorist. Once again, fiction's interest in its failure may reveal more about genius than success. And that failure is also accompanied—still with considerable ambiguity—by the female presence that Balzac argued also deserved recognition as the essential helpmeet of genius.

Home is a place of belongingness and homeless mentally ill people form a highly vulnerable group. The vicious cycle of poverty, ill health, and homelessness in India makes the context even more pertinent. Various definitions exist for homelessness in India but none can describe the population fully. Epidemiological studies from India give some estimates of the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in this group. Psychotic disorder is the most common diagnosis followed by mood disorders, substance use disorders, and intellectual disability. Administrative factors such as lack of rehabilitative services and scarcity of mental health resources; illness factors such as untreated mental disorder, impaired ability to self-care, and high comorbidities; and social factors such as high stigma, poverty, low literacy, rapid urbanization, lack of employment, and other housing barriers are the major reasons in India contributing to homelessness in the mentally ill population. There remains a duality in this population that homelessness and mental illness act as risk factors for each other. Women form a higher risk group with regard to being homeless and mentally ill. The major support in India for this population comes from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and NGOs such as the Richmond Fellowship Society, Shraddha Foundation, The Banyan, Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan, Ashadeep, and Hope Kolkata Foundation remain as pioneers in psychosocial rehabilitation. India also has programmes and policies to support this population. The Mental Healthcare Act (2017) lays down various provisions for the homeless mentally ill. There is a need for government–NGO collaboration and more facilities for psychosocial rehabilitation to help this vulnerable population in need.

Chapter 2 discusses a widespread but underexamined zombie trope: the hesitation between the zombie as a “real” living dead person and the zombie as a mentally ill or intellectually disabled individual. This chapter begins by exploring the emergence of the trope of the zombie as a figure of mental illness in iconic occupation-era (1915–1934) and mid-twentieth century travelogues, films, and anthropological writing by writers and directors from the United States and Europe, arguing that in addition to playing on US audiences’ fascination with zombies and Haitian “voodoo,” they also reveal implicit fears about emergent Western psychiatric treatments. If this avatar of the zombie emerged as a way of simultaneously titillating US audiences and “diagnosing” the living dead—explaining this apparent product of Haitian superstition through scientific, rational discourse—Haitian writers of the twentieth century (Alexis, Depestre, and Chenet) reappropriate this avatar, blurring the distinction between the zombie as a product of Vodou and the zombie as a product of mental illness. In doing so, these authors seek to restore the complex historical and cultural backdrop against which the living dead must be understood in the Caribbean.

Abstract In the face of Western imperialist threats in the 1850s, Japanese leaders sought to strengthen the nation by drawing on the latest global scientific and medical knowledge. By the 1880s, this included the introduction of European-influenced psychiatry. Japanese psychiatrists claimed that mental diseases required medical treatment in specialized institutions rather than confinement at home, as had been common practice. But the state implemented no social welfare policies to make new medical services more accessible and affordable to the public. The institution of the family, especially women, thus continued to carry the burden of caring for those considered mad. When women were the ones to fall mentally ill, family served as a crucial set of relationships through which they understood their illnesses. While doctors located the source of affliction in their physiology and reproductive malfunctions, many women narrated their experiences of illness by invoking the relations and language of kinship.

Abstract Unlike her husband, Susan never formally traced her family’s lineage, but its history had a great impact on her. If the first generation provided a reified version of pioneer life, the next generation deconstructed the tale. While her grandfather Silas may have been a fine horticulturist, he was not a good businessman. At his death, little remained of the original family tract, and it was finally disposed of in 1882, when his widow Susan came to live with her younger son Elmer and his family, including six-year-old Susan. In the Glaspell line the men were less physically robust than the women and died sooner. In the case of Silas and Elmer, they also showed signs of mental as well as physical breakdown years before their death. Although depression at the time was deemed a “female ailment”-news-papers running numerous advertisements for remedies to “cure the ladies of their disposition”-it was the Glaspell men who suffered from a mental state far more debilitating than such euphemisms imply. Silas’s obituary indicates that after years of “nervous attacks” he was “glad to go, and so he died because he was literally worn out.”1 Elmer Glaspell, Susan’s father, was even less of a businessman than his father and seemed less mentally able to withstand the stresses he encountered. He worked at a number of trades-farmer, teamster, contractor, and hay and straw wholesaler-but for the last six years of his life he, too, would be an invalid, after suffering a “severe mental breakdown.” Susan seems to have had her father.

Abstract Gendered understandings of madness and family-based care continued into the post-World War II period. In the early 1950s, a series of laws and financial incentives dramatically shifted structures of care from the home to hospitals. Still, families retained much of their primacy in the management of care. Indeed, the burden of domestic responsibility for the mentally ill fell even more intensely on the shoulders of women than ever before, as the home was renewed as the most socially legitimate space of rest. Gendered notions of madness persisted, too, as did women’s reliance on the language of kinship and domesticity to make sense of various forms of mental distress, many of which came in the guise of updated diagnostic categories such as “nonspecific complaints.”

Abstract The old expression mean streets signifies the worlds of urban poverty. It is another term that takes the trope of city streets, with all its negative connotations, to stand for exposure to the cruelties of poverty. The meanings of mean streets emerged primarily with reference to the nineteenth-century classic slums of English and American cities and to an older type of skid row of transient but employable men. In this century its meaning was transferred to the poverty of utter despair, to the crime, violence, and drugs in black and Latino ghettos, and to the condition of homeless and often mentally ill men and women on American city streets. Mean streets is the thought behind this chapter mainly in the older sense of Manhattan’s classic slums and the intersecting social worlds of transient and often homeless men and women on the Bowery.
