In Overcoming Masculine Depression, psychologists John Lynch and Christopher Kilmartin present a model that provides new ways of understanding men’s behaviours. This unique book does not portray men as victims, but seeks to increase awareness that a great deal of depression in men is misunderstood and quite often misdiagnosed. Many men "act out" their symptoms through anger, workaholism, and relationship conflict.
Key Features
- Insights into men’s behaviours and the nuances of masculine depression.
- Strategies for recognising symptoms and reclaiming lives and relationships.
- Numerous case examples illustrating the dynamics of male depression.
- New chapters on self-regulation, impulse control, and evidence-based treatments.
Additional Information
Underlying these behaviours are chronic feelings of being hopeless, helpless, and worthless. This is an essential resource for all helping professionals who work with male clients, as well as for men experiencing symptoms of depression and the people in their lives.
