Aprašymas

The first of its kind, this book reflects progress in a too-little explored corner of psychiatry to show that gender plays an integral role in mental health issues for men. Textbook of Men's Mental Health provides clinicians with the information they need for understanding how certain disorders manifest differently in men -- and for recognizing how treatment responses in men differ from those in women.

With contributions by today's experts in men's mental health, this work gathers the latest research about men's psychiatric issues, from the difficulties in diagnosing male depression to interventions for body image disorders. First addressing developmental issues specific to childhood, adolescence, and old age, the text then presents treatment options for an array of problems, from substance abuse to sexual disorders to posttraumatic stress disorder. This volume then addresses psychosocial issues as they apply uniquely to men, such as fathering, marriage, aggression -- even the challenge of overcoming the stigma of mental health treatment. The evidence-based coverage is complemented by case vignettes, key points, practice guidelines, and an extensive reference list for each chapter.
