Notes on Psychiatry

How then may women understand their situation? What vocabularies and concepts are available to them to think about their world and to speak from their experience? Where are the expressive forms and the images and symbols which are capable of realizing the special character of their experience? How can they formulate their lives and feelings so they can speak to one another of what they have in common, declare who they are, make claims, speak with authority of their condition and recognize themselves fully in what is said?
