Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Mary V. Seeman and focuses on her pioneering work in understanding gender differences in relation to schizophrenia and psychosis. Dr. Seeman was a renowned psychiatrist known for her compassionate care and significant contributions to women’s mental health. Her research shaped treatment guidelines and opened new avenues for clinical research, particularly in understanding how gender impacts the course and treatment of schizophrenia. This Special Issue intends to capture her passion for the study of women and psychosis and will include several articles that explore various aspects of gender in the field of psychosis using a bio-psychosocial approach. It will also highlight the unique challenges faced by women with schizophrenia, including social functioning, symptomatology, and personal recovery. This Special Issue aims to honor Dr. Seeman’s legacy by continuing to advance the field of gender-sensitive mental health research and by providing insights that can lead to more personalized and effective interventions for women with psychosis.
