Abstract
“Except as occasional consultants, the less men doctors have to do with female lunatics the better”. (Lowe, 1883) “As long as women are over-represented among mental patients and family caretakers and under-represented among psychiatrists, administrators and politicians, their lives will continue to be unhappily affected by decisions in which they take no part”. (Showalter, 1987)Keywords
