Understanding Depression by Janet Stoppard
Provides an in-depth critical examination of mainstream approaches to understanding and treating depression from a feminist perspective.Janet Stoppard has produced an immensely insightful and thought-provoking work, and my advice to anyone interested in understanding depression is to get hold of itIt fills a gap in the available literature, and points towards new directions for research. - Siân E. Lewis, Psychological Health Sheffield, in 'Feminism & Psychology'
Stoppard provides a clear, well-organized and in-depth critique of the dominant models of depression as well as solid introduction to social constructionist terminology ^DEL She advocates for an understanding that is partial and strives to open up dialogue among and between various modes of thinking ^DEL [This book] would be appropriate as an introductory text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in psychology, critical theory or women's studies. Additionally, clinicians interested in retheorizing depression from a socio-political perspective will find this book enormously helpful. - Bethany Riddle, Duquesne University, in Theory & Psychology
