Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on the complex patterning of mental disorder identified in men and women.

The second part considers theories of the causes of mental disorder and the extent to which the different causes can account for the gendered landscape of disorder. It concludes with a discussion of the policy implications of the analysis.
