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孕产妇心理健康状况，如果不治疗，可能会造成破坏性后果。她自己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。批判性地，它将研究lamiaphobia（一个新词从拉丁语拉米亚，'巫婆谁吸孩子的血'）在渲染产后精神病创造性地说不出的作用。该项目将使用小说写作作为学术话语，将哥特式的疯女人巫婆怪物与经历过产后精神病的妇女的当代生活写作的见解进行对话。

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.
