Women and Mental Health - Tapa blanda

This book would make a good starting point for someone new to the issues of gender difference within mental health, but also contained enough new research for me to feel it added to my knowledge. I would recommend it to any mental health professional working with women.

We know that gender traits and mental disorders are based on social, cultural, personal and physiological background. In order to formulate the best management plan for the patient, the mental health practitioner needs to incorporate all available information.
Women and Mental Health provides a comprehensive overview of the most prominent mental health problems in women today.
Examining the physiological, social and psychological factors of mental illness, and providing an up-to-date perspective on the etiology of different disorders, the book will help mental health professionals formulate the best management plan for the individual.
Covering issues including perinatal psychiatric disorders, depression, eating disorders, schizophrenia, and alcohol and drug abuse - from a female perspective - Women and Mental Health will prove a valuable tool for all those working in the fields of mental health.
