Abstract

This innovative collection of essays employs historical and sociological approaches to provide important case studies of asylums, psychiatry and mental illness in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Leading scholars in the field working on a variety of geographical, temporal, socio-cultural, economic and political contexts, show how class and gender have historically affected and conditioned the thinking, language, and processes according to which society identified and responded to the mentally illustrations Contributors to this volume focus on both class and gender and thus are able to explore their interaction, whereas previous publications addressed class or gender incidentally, partially, or in isolation. By adopting this dual focus as its unifying theme, the volume is able to supply new insights into such interesting topics as patient careers, the relationship between lay and professional knowledge of insanity, the boundaries of professional power, and the creation of psychiatric knowledge. Particularly useful to student readers (and to those new to this academic field) is a substantive and accessible introduction to existing scholarship in the field, which signposts the ways in which this collection challenges, adjusts and extends previous perspectives.

Abstract

Vrouwen leven gemiddeld langer dan mannen, maar deze hogere levensverwachting is slechts een zeer partiële indicator voor haar gezondheidstoestand. Vrouwen blijken vaker ziek te zijn dan mannen, zij voelen zich doorgaans minder fit, zij ervaren meer situaties van niet-welbevinden, zoals depressiviteit, en zij melden vaker hinder van chronische gezondheidsproblemen, ziekten of handicaps enz. Dit boek maakt de balans op van het onderzoek vandaag naar de gezondheidsstatus van de vrouw vanuit sociaal-economisch perspectief. De vraag in welke mate de zwakkere sociale positie van de vrouw haar gezondheid in negatieve zin beïnvloedt, vormt de rode draad doorheen de verschillende bijdragen in dit boek.
