The purpose of this dissertation is to contribute to the theoretical understanding of women's experiences of Panic Disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 1984) in terms of the subjective interpretation of psychical troubles in relation to the objective reality of the patriarchal social world of which they are a part. I utilize various postcolonial, post-structural, feminist and institutional ethnographic theories to explain the processes through which my interview respondents' daily activities, modes of reasoning and personal agency are constructed in the space of the contemporary western city. I draw heavily upon Franz Fanon's (1963) work on colonialism as an analogy to describe the psycho-affective structures of patriarchy that subjugate women culturally, psychologically, and sexually. In my own work, I bring together these theories to argue that Panic Disorder is a psychological problem arising out of significant conflict between desiring inclusion within, and resisting domination by the ruling patriarchal relations.

520 $a The purpose of this dissertation is to contribute to the theoretical understanding of women's experiences of Panic Disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 1984) in terms of the subjective interpretation of psychical troubles in relation to the objective reality of the patriarchal social world of which they are a part. I utilize various postcolonial, post-structural, feminist and institutional ethnographic theories to explain the processes through which my interview respondents' daily activities, modes of reasoning and personal agency are constructed in the space of the contemporary western city. I draw heavily upon Franz Fanon's (1963) work on colonialism as an analogy to describe the psycho-affective structures of patriarchy that subjugate women culturally, psychologically, and sexually. In my own work, I bring together these theories to argue that Panic Disorder is a psychological problem arising out of significant conflict between desiring inclusion within, and resisting domination by the ruling patriarchal relations.
520 $a Three key concerns guide this research. First, I investigate how women, self-described as suffering from Panic Disorder, constitute narratives of power in relation to patriarchy through particular discourses that organize their own notions of 'self' in relation to social interaction, relationships between others, and participation and inclusion in social space. Second and more specifically, I am interested in how women with Panic Disorder are involved within, interpret, justify, argue against, and transform the relations of ruling through discourses of shared sociality between others. Last, I seek to explain the significance of this study, particularly, as it enriches an understanding of power in relation to gender, panic and alienation.
520 $a To answer these questions, I use semi-structured in-depth interviews, film, literature, and historical data to describe aspects of the women's various routines and daily behaviours, their beliefs and values, how they perceived of themselves as well as how they understood the social conditions and various social contexts in which they live. To accomplish a reading of my participants' 'panic talk', I employ a discourse analysis from the standpoint of the women being interviewed to describe the linguistic strategies they use to organize and understand the social interactions that constitute their lived experience and the meanings they give to those interactions (Smith, 1990). Moreover, I assess how such meanings are involved in the processes of identity formation and subjective experience as these are produced in relation to panic and gender. Through this dissertation, I intend to contribute to contemporary understandings of the phenomenology of Panic Disorder as a crystallization of patriarchal power relations that undermine the potential of women to live as full social subjects.
