Suzanne Garfinkle-Crowell
‘Thoughtful and nuanced’ Sunday Times
‘As a parent I was transfixed by recognition. As a therapist it opened my eyes’ Chris Cleave
‘Exceptional. Will change conversations the very next day’ Professor Peter Fonagy
'Insightful. [Garfinkle-Crowell] helps the rest of us actually hear what girls are trying to tell us’ Rosalind Wiseman
ADHD.
OCD.
Toxic.
Unwell.
A new language has entered our culture. Over the past decade, psychiatrist Suzanne Garfinkle-Crowell noticed more and more girls describing themselves through the lens of ‘therapy speak’ and psychiatric diagnoses, often pulled from social media. At the same time, she saw parents responding to this jargon with either alarm or dismissiveness, widening the communication gap between the generations.
In Girlhood, Translated, Dr Garfinkle-Crowell explores how therapy speak is reshaping the identities of girls. Drawing on vivid stories from the therapy room, she reveals, with stunning insight and compassion, the dynamics at play underneath the labels. She helps us understand why girls turn to this language in the first place – and what they’re trying to say when they do.
Girlhood, Translated is both an urgent call to change the conversation around mental health and a tender, beautifully written portrait of modern girlhood. Exploring what happens when human emotion is pathologised, Suzanne Garfinkle-Crowell shows us how we can move beyond the language of illness towards greater agency, healing and connection.
‘Phenomenal. Funny, wise and compassionate’ Catherine Steiner-Adair, author of The Big Disconnect
‘I recommend this book to all who have contact with teenage girls’ Mary Pipher, author of Reviving Ophelia and Women Rowing North

Recensioni della critica
‘Thoughtful and nuanced . . . As a manual for any parent who wants to understand what their daughter is really saying when she tries to communicate that she is suffering, Girlhood, Translated is a very good one’
'Dr Garfinkle-Crowell vividly describes her patients’ reliance on social-media buzzwords to understand themselves and their problems. Despite her suspicion of therapy-speak, Dr. Garfinkle-Crowell still believes in the value of therapy itself, unsurprising for a working psychiatrist'
'A smart, compassionate study of the dangers ‘therapy speak’ poses to youths still learning to articulate their inner worlds'
‘The most energizing book I’ve read this year. As a parent I was transfixed by recognition. As a therapist it opened my eyes’ (Chris Cleave, author of Everyone Brave is Forgiven)
‘This book will change conversations the very next day. Smart, compassionate, and bracingly clear, it distrusts quick labels while honouring real suffering. An exceptional contribution’
(Peter Fonagy, award-winning coauthor of Affect Regulation, Mentalization, and the Development of the Self)
(Peter Fonagy, award-winning coauthor of Affect Regulation, Mentalization, and the Development of the Self)
‘In this excellent book, [Garfinkle-Crowell] weaves together the history of girls and mental health with how girls see and talk about themselves now. Only someone who truly knows young women could write a book this insightful – and she helps the rest of us actually hear what girls are trying to tell us’ (Rosalind Wiseman, New York Times bestselling author of Queen Bees and Wannabes)
‘Compelling and compulsory. Required reading for anyone seeking to understand the contemporary world of not only girls, but young people in general’ (Jennifer Cox, author of Women Are Angry)
‘This fine book by an excellent therapist and writer offers readers a deep understanding of the internal and external problems of girls today. Best of all, she gives us ideas of how to help girls explore who they truly are and learn to tell their stories with their own true voices. I recommend this book to all who have contact with teenage girls’ (Mary Pipher, New York Times bestselling author of Reviving Ophelia and Women Rowing North)
‘Phenomenal, seminal . . . a delightful trio of funny, wise and compassionate. This is an essential timely read for anyone who works with or cares about girls’
(Catherine Steiner-Adair, author of The Big Disconnect)
