Abstract
The often-cited finding that “depression” is a problem particularly afflicting women is one that mainstream theoretical approaches have been unable to explain satisfactorily. Such theories have been critiqued as inherently dualist and reductionist and as employing concepts that are implicitly androcentric. Mainstream theories promote a view of depression as a form of individual disorder or psychopathology, capable of being understood without regard to the broader sociocultural context. Neglected within mainstream theory and research on depression are social-structural and discursive conditions that regulate women’s lives and shape their experiences. Research informed by feminist standpoint and social constructionist epistemological perspectives provides one avenue for offsetting the limitations of mainstream approaches. At this juncture, forms of inquiry drawing on qualitative methodologies offer more useful, and potentially more emancipatory, strategies for understanding depression in women than mainstream approaches, because they can more fully acknowledge the lived experiences of women.
