This book focuses on the social and societal context of women's mental health. Drawing from multidisciplinary perspectives and scholarship, it pays particular attention to how women's mental health is experienced at the personal level, yet it is influenced by their relationships and interacts with the larger societal context (such as prevailing gender equality policies, income distribution, role burden, peace and security). Specific attention is given to the positive aspects of women's mental health (such as agency, resilience) and how women’s personal relations across diverse domains (such as family, work, neighbourhoods) are constructed and influenced by, and in turn influence, broader societal structures/ policies/ opportunities. A unique feature of this book is that, at the end of each chapter, there is a Response section written by a non-academic such as a community member, practitioner or policy maker in which the invited authors respond to the chapter texts in the form of narrative, poetry, and/or prose, according to their various backgrounds, interests, and experiences.

This book discusses psychiatric disorders among women in a manner that is relevant to clinical practice and keep cultural and social realities in perspective. The book is important in the face of rapidly changing conditions globally (including better education and more opportunities for work for women); challenges such as migration, war and violence and emerging areas such as newer reproductive technologies, Women's mental health cannot be divorced from social and cultural realities and while the book emphasises these areas, it also gives due importance to the current advances in neurobiology and psychopharmacology of psychiatric disorders among women. Chapters in the book are written by multiple authors, many of the chapters use the life stage approach, and have been written by authors from different parts of the world to ensure cultural relevance and diverse viewpoints.

Social workers, in whatever capacity they work, can expect to come into contact with women who have experienced/are experiencing violence and with women who are experiencing depression. Therefore, a range of social work supports and interventions are required in order to meet the needs of diverse women and assist them in their recovery. One of these methods is group work where women can share their experiences, learn from each other, reflect on their learnings and identify and achieve changes in their circumstances. This book is based on original research by the author that sought to understand depression in women from a feminist and gender-informed perspective, develop a feminist-based group work response, and highlight the activities of consciousness-raising and resistance as methods for women to achieve change in their lives and in their selves. An innovative and creative group work program, the Women’s Journaling Group Program, was developed from this research and provides a new method of working with women who have experienced/are experiencing violence and mild-moderate depression. The Women’s Journaling Group Program is research-informed, theoretically-grounded, practice-based and feminist and gender-focused. This book, and the program model within it, is an important contribution to the field of critical feminist social work practice.

Describes a series of practical initiatives for addressing the mental health needs of women and improving the treatment and prevention of common disorders. The document is an outgrowth of the new WHO Nations for Mental Health project, which seeks to mobilize social, economic, and political support for combatting the growing problems of mental disorders and substance abuse. The project gives particular attention to the needs of underserved populations in developing countries. The document has nine sections. The first reviews data indicating the magnitude of mental health problems that are especially common in women and often inadequately treated. These include depression, anxiety, psychological distress, sexual violence such as rape and forced prostitution, domestic violence, and substance abuse. Section two shows how these problems can be addressed, at the policy level, through a comprehensive plan of action ranging from changes in national legislation and the criminal justice system to support for grassroots initiatives. Policies are discussed in greater detail in section three, which explains how legislation can be used to combat discrimination against women, in health, education, and employment, and thus improve their mental health. Against this background, the remaining sections present examples of projects designed to change factors in the social and physical environment that are known to have an adverse effect on women's mental health. Projects are suggested to improve the skills and attitudes of primary health care workers, to reach women at the workplace, to improve the management of domestic violence by the criminal justice system, and to ensure that women have access to support services. Additional projects cover the use of grassroots initiatives and the media to promote the mental health of women. [Summary of web site: www.who.int]
