交叉性框架有望成为将多样性的影响概念化的一种手段。专门由女权主义研究人员使用，我们探讨它是如何“旅行”到精神卫生保健领域，在那里多样性越来越重要。我们批判性地回顾了第一个由交叉性所告知的心理健康（护理）研究，并提供了一系列批判性思考，重点是将交叉性作为一个理论框架。为了更彻底地探索交叉性框架的附加值，我们将这些与四项关于妇女和健康的研究进行了比较，这些研究也包括几个社会区别，但没有被告知交叉性。突出的是需要解开“人口因素”和分析权力关系。随后，我们指出了未来发展的问题，特别是需要具体的决策规则来处理当前的方法论多元化。如果不解决后一点，可能会破坏交叉性的变革潜力，因为交叉性是一种考虑同时存在的社会差异和影响个人生活的权力等级的手段，从而导致对多样性的简化学科方法。
The intersectionality framework holds promise as a means of conceptualizing the impact of diversity. Used exclusively by feminist researchers, we explore how it has ‘travelled’ to the mental health care field, where diversity is of growing importance. We critically review the first mental health (care) research informed by intersectionality and offer a series of critical reflections that focus on using intersectionality as a theoretical framework. To explore the added value of the intersectionality framework more thoroughly, we compare these with four studies on women and health that also include several social distinctions but are not informed by intersectionality. What stands out is the need to unpack ‘demographic factors’ and analyze power relations. Subsequently, we point to issues for future development, and especially the need for specific decision rules to deal with the current methodological plurality. Failure to address this latter point will likely undermine the transformative potential of intersectionality as a means for considering the simultaneous social differences and power hierarchies that shape individual lives, resulting in simplified disciplinary approaches to multiplicity.
