Roses in Salty Soil: Women and Depression in Egypt Today

This study aims to fill a research gap in the phenomenology of Egyptian women’s experiences and perceptions of affective suffering and psycho-social distress. Deconstructing disciplinary boundaries, it presents a cross-cultural insight into the interplay among women, culture, and psychological illness, and examines illness triggers, prevalent hierarchies of resort, and common treatment results. It includes vol. 28, No. 4 of Cairo Papers in Social Science .
