Book Description
The Palgrave Handbook of Male Psychology and Mental Health (PDF) shows the first concerted effort to understand male mental health in a way that drives a positive step forward in both theory and treatment. A shocking number of men experience serious mental health issues; as proved by high rates of suicide and violent offending. Irrespective of these problems; the study of male psychology has either been ignored; or viewed as a problem of defective masculinity. This ebook brings together specialists from across the world to discuss men’s mental health; from prenatal development; through childhood; adolescence; and fatherhood. Men and masculinity are analyzed from multiple perspectives including evolutionary; cross-cultural; biological; cognitive; developmental; and existential viewpoints; with an emphasis on practical suggestions and demonstrations of successful clinical work with men.
All through the ebook; chapters question existing models of understanding and treating men’s mental health and explore new theories; approaches and interventions. This definitive ebook encapsulates a new wave of positive theory and practice in the field of male psychology and will be of great significance to academics; professionals; and those working with males through the lifespan in any sector associated to male mental health and wellbeing.
