She Herself is a Haunted House: Representing the Experience of Twentieth-Century Postpartum Psychosis

产后精神病是一种高度污名化的产妇心理健康状况，如果不治疗，可能会产生毁灭性的后果。她本人是一个鬼屋将探索创新的方法来代表二十世纪产后精神病的现象学，遵循‘文学和医学’的学术传统。批判性的是，它将考察LAM恐惧症(来自拉丁语Lamia的新词，“吸食儿童血液的巫婆”)在创造性地使产后精神病变得无法说话方面所起的作用。该项目将使用小说写作作为学术话语，将哥特式的疯女人怪物与当代生活的洞察力对话-由经历过产后精神病的女性写作。

Postpartum psychosis is a highly-stigmatised maternal mental health condition, with potentially devastating consequences if untreated. She Herself is a Haunted House will explore innovative methodologies in representing the phenomenology of twentieth-century postpartum psychosis, following the scholarly traditions of 'literature and medicine'. Critically it will examine the role of lamiaphobia (a neologism fromthe Latin lamia, 'witch who sucks the blood of children') in rendering postpartum psychosis creatively unspeakable. The project will use novel-writing as academic discourse to bring the Gothic madwomanwitch-monster into dialogue with the insights of contemporary life-writing by women who have experienced postpartum psychosis.
