The ongoing silencing of women in families: An analysis and rethinking of premenstrual syndrome and therapy
Abstract
Traditionally, explanations for premenstrual symptomatology have focused on the individual woman as the site of difficulties, and as the sole target of intervention. In contrast, from the perspective of a material‐discursive‐intrapsychic model, this paper will focus on the ways in which ‘PMS’ is experienced, constructed and dealt with in family relationships. Drawing on in‐depth narrative interviews conducted with women with moderate to severe premenstrual symptoms, it is argued that ‘PMS’ is closely tied to relationship difficulties and responsibilities; familial expectations and attributions for women's behaviour provide a discursive context for behaviour and emotions to be positioned as ‘PMS’; and that the ongoing self‐silencing and pathologization of women's emotions in families are key attributes of ‘PMS’. This suggests that a consideration of relationship issues should be central to any assessment or intervention for premenstrual symptoms, and conversely, that attention should be given to premenstrual exacerbation of relationship difficulties in family or couples therapy.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
