Recenzii
"At last, a collection of Will Courtenay’s important research and writing on men’s health, revised and brought up to date! It could not be more timely, given the urgent need for improved health care outcomes in the US. I will strongly recommend it to my students and colleagues." - Ronald F. Levant, EdD, ABPP, 2005 President, the American Psychological Association; Professor of Psychology, the University of Akron
"This book provides a truly impressive collection of updated information and predominantly quantitative research on sex differences in health and health patterns of diverse populations of men. It serves as a useful and comprehensive source of data and commentary on these dimensions of health related to gender and masculinity." - Toni Schofield, PhD, Associate Professor, Discipline of Behavioural and Social Sciences in Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, The University of Sydney
"Will Courtenay has created an exhaustive and well organized review of two decades of scholarship on men’s health. Dying to be Men is the most important resource available for anyone interested in this issue, which is literally a matter of life and death." - Christopher Kilmartin, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, University of Mary Washington
"It would be a truism to say that ‘Will Courtenay wrote the book on men's health’ since, well, this is it! By examining different groups of men - by age, class, region, race -- Courtenay deepens our understanding of that crucial linkage between gender and health." - Michael Kimmel, PhD, Professor of Sociology, SUNY at Stony Brook"Dr. Courtenay presents thought provoking analysis and comprehensive understanding of the current dire circumstances for men and the resulting negative impact on health and society. He shares a clear vision of how to move beyond our current norms for manhood to transform social, cultural, and environmental factors to improve wellbeing for all." - Larry Cohen, MSW, Founder and Executive Director, Prevention Institute
"Dr. Courtenay both takes stock of existing research and looks to the future by opening up fresh issues and proposing a new interdisciplinary global and relational approach fit for the twenty-first century. The result is a timely, accessible book that will be an invaluable resource for social scientists and health practitioners alike." - Ellen Annandale, PhD, Professor, Department of Sociology, University of Leicester
"This is absolutely the best book on men's health available today. The depth and breadth of Courtenay's research make this an essential resource for anyone interested in promoting the health and well-being of men and boys. This is a unique contribution to the field that should be read by those in academia, clinical practice, and any man who wants the facts on how to live long and well." - Jed Diamond, PhD, LCSW, founder and Director of MenAlive
"Dr. Will Courtenay’s book is truly the first of its kind. For all its academic excellence, this lucid, easy to digest book is an alluring and popular read for anyone concerned about men and boys. Beautifully written, it offers practical "cues" with clear, concise, and useful advice." - William S. Pollack, PhD, ABPP, Associate Clinical Professor, Harvard Medical School; Founder and Director, Centers for Men & Boys
"Dying to Be Men is the most comprehensive resource on men's health that I have encountered. Will Courtenay understands that men need more than information about their health -- they need permission to care about it. This is a powerful tool that educators, therapists, policy-makers and anyone else who cares about men can use to challenge the outdated and deeply destructive idea that 'real men' don't take care of themselves." Jackson Katz, PhD, creator of the award-winning film Tough Guise and author of The Macho Paradox
"Discussing all ages of men, Dying to Be Men is a truly fascinating, scholarly, and highly recommended read that should be in any psychology and health studies collection, aimed at those who want to understand man in today's society." - The Midwest Book Review
