 Interwoven with these ideas from the start have been relentless critiques from feminist theory. These include acknowledgment of the women’s actual, unwarranted, institutionalization, as well as emphasis on harms of disempowerment and silencing (Kristeva 1987 [1989]), and of epistemic injustices (Dotson 2011; Sanati &amp; Kyratsous 2015; entry on Feminist Social Epistemology). In a legacy affecting mental disorder even today, binary conceptualizations have assigned women and the feminine to illogicality, emotionality, subjectivity, the bodily, and madness (in contrast to men’s more valued traits) (G. Lloyd 1984; Potter 2009). Earlier feminist thinkers focused on the medicalization of women’s normal traits, as well as research neglect and distortion of gender-linked disorders; separate and unequal treatments; the mental health vulnerabilities associated with traditional women’s roles and identities; and diagnosis and treatment understood as tools of patriarchal social control (Russell 1995; Ussher 2011).
