Description
Men and Depression: Clinical and Empirical Perspectives is the only book currently available that integrates psychological
theories and the latest research findings with clinical recommendations for working with men who are suffering from depression. This
volume covers a wide range of topics and issues that relate to men and depression, including: assessment of male depression; statistics
on depression in men; theories to explain depression in men; treating depression in men with both pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy;
the interrelation of grief, loss, trauma, and depression in men; the problem of suicide and how to assess and treat suicide risk in men;
and prospects for future work in this important area.
This is a unique reference and practical guide that integrates and evaluates research
and clinical practice relating to the diagnosis and treatment of men with depression. The volume explores why men are underdiagnosed
and undertreated for mood disorders and provides the clinician with practical guidelines for conceptualizing a treatment plan for men
with depression.
