Gender differences have an influence on the therapeutic needs of women.
Traumatic events connected to gender and power imbalances are frequently a key factor in the development and presentation of symptoms in women with serious mental health illnesses (PTSD, major depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia). These distinctions include every aspect of female identity, from maternity and familial ties to sexual, racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, work, and religious practices.
However, conventional mental health models and education do not take into account the therapeutic effects of female clients’ intersecting identities. Clinicians struggle to see improvements because they lack the resources to care for this group without pathologizing them.
How can you provide these ladies compassionate care that gives them control over their treatment?
