This is a comprehensive, up-to-date and evidence-based review of
women's mental health. It starts by considering the social and
cultural contexts of women's lives today before addressing how
developmental aspects pertain to mental health, exploring
biological, evolutionary and psychosocial parameters. The heart of
the book contains a series of chapters with a clinical emphasis.
These aim to elucidate causal mechanisms for gender differences in
mental disorder considering hormonal and environmental influences.
The therapeutic implications of gender are then addressed in some
detail, with a focus on inter-partner and other forms of violence,
substance misuse, personality disorder and post-traumatic stress
disorder. The book concludes with a detailed section considering
psychosis and its sequelae in women and their families. The book's
scope is intended to be broad, and it is aimed at a clinical
audience including psychiatrists and general physicians, as well as
mental health nurses, psychologists, social workers and
occupational therapists.
