Responding to Men in Crisis (Hardcover, annotated edition)

Increasing rates of male suicide have been well documented, as have the problems of mental health provision for some minority male groups; however, the position of men in general within the psychiatric system is complex. There are many contradictions and gendered assumptions in mental health policy and practice, for example conflating mental health illness with dangerousness. Responding to Men in Crisis is based on new research looking at gendered assumptions about rationality and men's mental health. It looks at postmodern theory in relation to masculinities and madness, and discusses key contemporary debates in political uses of risk, dangerousness and so on. The author relates this to a discussion of current policy and practice responses to men within the mental health system. It offers the reader a theoretical exploration of a topically and politically sensitive issues, and is relevant to service user involvement and survivor movements.
