Starting in embryonic development, gender has profound
influences on us. Endocrine receptors in the brain affect
cognition, mood, and behavior differently in males and females, and
gender roles inevitably affect our psychosocial experiences. It
should be no surprise that men and women have differences in
vulnerability for developing many forms of psychopathology, in
expression of symptoms and in response to treatment.
Gender and Its Effect on Psychopathology examines the gender
differences in psychopathology, including susceptibility to
psychiatric disorders, the timing of their onset, their course, and
their response to treatment. Dr. Ellen Frank and colleagues show
how studying these differences helps clinicians in predicting
patients' responses to treatment. This book reviews - The types of
depression to which women are prone, the hormonal basis of mood
disorders in women, and the specific clinical phenomenology of
reproduction-related depressions- Findings on how gender difference
in socialization affect the development and symptoms of psychiatric
disorders- Studies hormonal and pubertal changes that may explain
the rise in rates for depression among females relative to males
between ages 10 and 15 years- Epidemiological findings on the
prevalence of depression among women and discusses plausible
explanations for these findings- Gender differences in antisocial
and borderline personality disorders, anxiety disorders,
schizophrenia, and substance dependence
A synopsis of current research on gender differences, Gender and
Its Effects on Psychopathology provides practitioners with
invaluable insight into understanding and treating patients with a
variety of psychiatric disorders.
