About the book

I think this review puts it better than I can. It's by Prof Gijsbert Stoet, Department of Psychology, University of Essex, UK: "This is a much-needed introduction book for anyone interested in what makes men think and behave the way they do. It is a critically important and timely contribution to the wider literature on gender-related topics. The authors covers a wide range of relevant topics about boys and men, including child development, education, mental health and wellbeing, and more. The book helps students and specialists alike to get an overview of the most important topics in the field of male psychology. The authors have done an especially good job in making the text easy and enjoyable to read. The book is filled with fascinating and carefully referenced facts, spotlight boxes, and discussion points. What is particularly striking about this book is how the authors describe controversial issues with a nuanced tone and with a deep understanding of different viewpoints on approaches to studying and discussing masculinity. This makes the book particularly useful for psychology and social-sciences courses on male psychology and masculinit in the English-speaking world. This is an essential read for both students and specialists alike." Other reviews are here https://www.wiley.com/en-gb/Perspectives+in+Male+Psychology%3A+An+Introduction-p-9781119685357
