Women with Serious Mental Illness
Gender-Sensitive and Recovery-Oriented Care
«This book would be an outstanding addition to graduate clinical training for professionals in mental health care, nursing, and medical students, and for advanced undergraduates in Women's Studies, Psychology of Women, and sociology courses. I also recommend it for any faculty teaching Introduction to Psychology or Abnormal Psychology so that recovery concepts can be integrated into those courses.»

Women with serious mental illness (SMI) include those with schizophrenia, severe depression, bipolar disorder, and/or complex posttraumatic stress disorder whose illnesses significantly impair daily functioning. While these women commonly present in psychotherapy and research samples, their needs are rarely addressed in academic literature and mental health training programs.
Women with Serious Mental Illness focuses on these women's experiences, including the history of mistreatment, marginalization, and oppression they have encountered within their everyday lives and within the mental health system. With decades of combined clinical experience, Drs. Lauren Mizock and Erika Carr offer evidence-based strategies for mental health professionals working with this overlooked population. Built on a framework of feminist theory, concepts on the intersectionality
of oppression, and a more holistic view of recovery, the book examines the impact of racism, sexual objectification, trauma, relationships, work, and class on the development and presentation of symptoms of mental illness in these women. These discussions are then synthesized into an effective treatment
intervention, Gender-Sensitive and Recovery-Oriented Care (G-ROC), which values an equal therapeutic relationship and validates the client as an expert on their own mental health. Chapters include worksheets, discussion questions, and case narratives for easy practical application in research or training programs. Women with Serious Mental Illness underscores the need for improved care for women, men, and gender nonbinary people with serious mental illness. Using these tools, clients can begin
the process of seeking hope, empowerment, and self-determination beyond the effects of mental illness.

«In this expertly crafted and accessible guide, Mizock and Carr articulate a culturally competent framework for delivering compassionate care that empowers women in recovery. This much-needed and imminently practical resource is timely and critical for recovery-oriented practice with women. It will appeal broadly to practitioners with its plethora of effective tools and heartfelt case examples."»

«At long last clinicians have book aimed at understanding the unique needs and experiences of women with serious mental illness, and that provides practical tools for helping them discover their own paths to recovery. This is essential reading for anyone involved in the treatment or rehabilitation of persons with severe psychiatric challenges."»
