      abstract = {Drawing upon insights from feminist new materialism the  book traces the complex material-discursive processes  through which women's recovery from depression is enacted  within a gendered biopolitics. Within the biomedical  assemblage that connects mental health policy, service  provision, research and everyday life, the gendered context  of recovery remains little understood despite the  recurrence and pervasiveness of depression. Rather than  reducing experience to discrete biological, psychological  or sociological categories, feminist thinking moves with  the biopsychosocialities implicated in both distress and  lively modes of becoming well. Using a post-qualitative  approach, the book creatively re-presents how women 'do'  recovery within and beyond the normalising imperatives of  biomedical and psychotherapeutic practices. By pursuing the  affective movement of self through depression this inquiry  goes beyond individualised models to explore the enactment  of multiple self-world relations. Reconfiguring depression  and recovery as bodymind matters opens up a relational  ontology concerned with the entanglement of gender  inequities and mental (ill) health.},
