Silencing the self

by Dana Crowley Jack

Dana Crowley Jack offers new insights into the roots of female depression as she illuminates why women are far more likely than men to suffer major depression in adulthood. Silencing the Self is an overview of depression in women that draws on new understandings of the importance of relationships in women's lives. Attending closely to what depressed women have to say about their lives, Jack reframes concepts of depression, freeing them from traditional models that have restricted our ability to listen to women's perspectives on depression.
