Authors: Lauren Slater, Ed.D., Jessica Henderson Daniel, Ph.D., Amy Elizabeth Banks, M.D. Written for and by women from diverse backgrounds and experiences, this new reference book published by Beacon Press integrates the latest thinking in psychology and psychiatry to provide a comprehensive and readable overview of psychological topics of particular concern to women. It explores major issues and biological changes associated with a woman's growth and development from young adulthood to old age. It addresses women's sexuality, relationships, motherhood and childlessness, trauma, and illness and discusses how social contexts, such as poverty and racism, affect mental health. Offering readily accessible descriptions of psychological problems, it identifies specific periods in which women may be particularly vulnerable to mental illness. In addition, it takes a closer look at treatment options and identifies life enhancements that can help women live fuller, more satisfying lives. Along with other perspectives, several chapters highlight the value of taking a relational approach to understanding and promoting women's psychological health. |
