Mellom taushet og fare

Om kulturelle fortolkninger av psykiske problemer og forsøk på å skape ny mening

Abstract

The article describes an understanding of psychological problems that include the knowledge of power structures in the gender system. Psychological symptoms are seen as a source of information to tabooed conflicts of interest and experiences with
power abuse. Therapeutical change implies the creation of new meaning based on dignity by fighting the process of making women's reactions pathological.
