About this book
Reviews
From the book reviews:
“This book explores how sex and gender differences affect the development, presentation, and treatment of psychopathology. … The audience includes all psychiatrists and psychologists who treat women. … This book is not only for readers training specifically in women’s mental health, it is also for general mental health professionals who desire to increase their understanding of the various aspects of gender and its impact.” (Mabel Avilas, Doody’s Book Reviews, March, 2015)
