Reviews
“Women’s Mental Health is an important resource for mental health professionals, policy makers, and mental and public health administrators. It provides a wealth of data, insight into women’s lived experiences, culturally sensitive recommendations, and practical solutions to the range and variety of circumstances that have a profound and lasting impact on women and their families and communities.” (Janet Etzi, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (14), April, 2016)
