Author Description

"Woman and Girls in the Social Environment: Behavioral Perspectives examines women's behavior in the context of social stages and situations occurring over the course of a lifetime. From childhood to old age, women react differently from men to stressful or life-changing events and environments. This "femininity" must be addressed to improve counseling for women. This book helps you understand these behaviors so better treatment or prevention programs can be designed for the future. Using charts, graphs, and tables to highlight scientific evidence, this volume is vital for anyone in social services who works with women."--BOOK JACKET.
