How can we understand the radical potential for transformation within the maternal experience?
As she navigates through the peculiarity of maternal experience, Baraitser takes us on a journey in which 'the mother' emerges in the most unlikely, precarious and unstable of places as a subject of alterity, transformation, interruption, heightened sentience, viscosity, encumberment and love.
This book presents a major new theory of maternal subjectivity, and an innovative and accessible way into our understanding of contemporary motherhood.
Critical Feminist Approaches to Eating Dis/Orders
Over the past decade there have been significant shifts both in feminist approaches to the field of eating disorders and in the ways in which gender, bodies, body weight, body management and food are understood, represented and regulated within the dominant cultural milieus of the early twenty-first century.
Critical Feminist Approaches to Eating Dis/Orders addresses these developments, exploring how eating disordered subjectivities, experiences and body management practices are theorised and researched within postmodern and post-structuralist feminist frameworks.

Between Psychoanalysis and Affect: A Public Feelings Project

New: Women and Depression: Recovery and Resistance
This book takes a welcome look at women's experiences of living well after depression, drawing on extensive in-depth interviews with women who have been depressed, as well as on previous research and on analyses of representations of women's health practices in the media.
In exploring the taken-for-granted aspects of women's experiences, Lafrance sheds light on the powerful but often invisible constraints on women's wellbeing, and the multiple and creative ways in which they resist these constraints in their everyday lives.
These insights will be of interest to students and scholars of psychology, sociology, women's studies, social work, counseling, and nursing.
