<p>Significantly expanded, updated, and improved with 50% new material, this is a comprehensive review of scholarly research and theory in menâs studies. No other book can approach it in its coverage of the volume of menâs studies research, its provision of a theoretical context for understanding the research, and its boxed features--most of which highlight the human aspects of the subject matter. Organized in three parts, the book offers a view of masculinity from a wide variety of perspectives. The first two chapters provide an introduction to contemporary concepts of men and masculinity, as well as the scientific study of sex and gender. In the second section, these concepts are applied to the major schools of psychological theory: psychobiology, social learning, humanism/existentialism, psychoanalysis, and socioculturalism. The last part of the book summarizes âmenâs issues:â work, emotion, relationships, physical health, mental health, violence, and the changing definitions of what it means to be male in contemporary society.</p>

<p>The Masculine Self provides an introduction to the theoretical and scientific study of men. Building on its solid psychological foundation, the third edition has been significantly revised to update the large volume of research on men and masculinity that has emerged in the new millennium. Several boxed features have been added and several chapters have been reorganized. In addition to a chapter on ethnic identities and men's ways of being, the author has now added a new chapter on the intersection of masculinities with other forms of identity: social class, sexualities, and aging. Thus, the third edition takes a big step forward in dealing with the multiple layers of cultural masculinities. 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.</p>
