The 1990s have seen an increased focus on issues relating to women's health--including mental and addicitve disorders. During this period, the alarming inequities in women's health research have come to light, including the failure to include women in clinical trials, inadequate attention to gender differences in biomedical, behavioral, and health services research, insufficient funding for research on women's health concerns, and the dearth of women in senior health care professional and scientific positions in U.S. federal and academic research institutions. At the same time, tremendous advances in theunderstanding of the causes of mental disorders have resulted in new and effective treatment, helpint to shatter the myths surrounding these illnesses. In this volume, a distinguished group of authorities focuses on the convergence of these two critical yet understudied areas--women's health and mental health issues. Topics include teen parenting, childhood depression and suicide, child abuse, sexual abuse, alcoholism, work and family, spousal abuse, dementia and Alzheimer's disorders. Contributors: Jeri A.
