Gender and mental health is a growing field in psychiatry and in
the last three to four decades, many different aspects of women's
mental health have bloomed. Researchers have gained a better
understanding of the psychological, social, and cultural aspects of
mental health problems in women, and it is possible to describe,
classify, and circumscribe different diagnoses as they appear in
the female gender. Epidemiological data has also shown an increased
frequency in different clinical aspects of many psychiatric
disorders. In addition, research into areas including eating
disorders, perinatal, psychiatric disorders, and the long term
effects of abuse have helped us to appreciate the societal,
parental, and personal consequences of mental health problems. The
Oxford Textbook of Women and Mental Health is dedicated to
fundamental aspects in women's mental health. Part one of the text
covers topics from women's health as a global issue to different
medical psychological theories, giving an overview of the role of
gender in mental health. The second part of the book examines
clinical aspects of women and mental health. In part three, special
clinical topics such as PTSD, self-harm, menopause, violence and
its management are investigated. Part four of the text focuses on
parental psychiatric disorders, clarifying how mental health and
behavioural problems in children can be a marker or consequence of
maternal distress. The final two parts look at the topics of women
and disability, and legislation and policy. A book of exceptional
scope and depth, it will be essential for all those health
professionals involved in managing mental health problems in women.
