Masculine Self

The following is information directly from the Sloan Publishing website at, http://www.sloanpublishing.com/kilmartin "The Masculine Self applies mainstream psychological theory to gendered perspectives on the lives of men and boys, and then covers an ever-growing body of research on "men's issues": emotion, work, aggression, physical health, mental health, sport, and relationships. This edition features a new co-author, Andrew P. Smiler. This new edition summarizes and synthesizes the latest research. In addition, Chapters Two (measurement), Three (Biologically-Based Theories), Four (Socially-Based Theories), Eleven (Sexuality), and Thirteen (Relationships) have been substantially edited and re-written. Dr. Smiler's training as a developmental psychologist becomes apparent with his attention to some age-related issues regarding sexuality and relationships. A new Chapter 15 on Masculinity and Sport has been prepared by guest author Matthew Yeazel. The text's manageable length makes it perfect for use as either a main text or supplement. Its accessible style and engaging approach are ideal for providing a solid understanding of the material and stimulating classroom discussion."
