Women's Minds, Women's Bodies : An Interdisciplinary Approach to Women's Health

The most positive approaches to women's health frequently emerge from women's own endeavors to achieve physical and mental balance in their lives. Abandoning the artificiality of subject divides, this book engages with that ethos. Drawing on the experience of an interdisciplinary women's health initiative, Fiona Poland and Gwyneth Boswell have assembled a formidable range of academic and professional experts in this highly accessible collection. Concepts of health are explored across disciplines which include psychology, law, history, health economics, nursing, counseling, social work, and sociology.

Fiona Poland is at the School of Occupational Therapy and Psychotherapy, University of East Anglia.
