Resumen del Editor

The Sunday Times best seller.

Angry, opinionated, mouthy, aggressive, hysterical, mad, disordered, crazy, psycho, delusional, borderline, hormonal.... Women have long been pathologized, locked up and medicated for not conforming to whichever norms or stereotypes are expected of them in that time and space. Sexy but Psycho is a challenging and uncomfortable book that seeks to explore the way professionals and society at large pathologize and sexualise women and girls.

Utilising decades of research, real case studies and new data from her own work, Dr Taylor's book will critically analyse the way we label women with personality disorders. Why are women and girls pathologized for being angry about oppression and abuse? How have so many women been duped into believing that they are mentally ill for having normal and natural reactions to their experiences? Sexy but Psycho argues that there is a specific purpose to convincing women and girls that they are mentally ill, as the world avoids addressing violence against women and their centuries of ignored trauma.

EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK

Provocative, honest and just blatantly needed! READ IT and pass it on to everyone else.

A book to change the world. True Feminism

Dr Taylor’s work is instrumental in true equality for women and girls in the world. We all agree that men commit violence against women and girls, but when those traumatized women and girls step outside the ‘good girl/quiet girl’ narrative she is slapped with a mental illness diagnosis which is then used again to abuse her further. Read this book. Share the book. Be loud and demanding.
