{"product_id":"illness-and-power-brant-wenegrat-9780814793107","title":"Illness and Power: Women's Mental Disorders and the Battle Between the Sexes","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince ancient times, physicians have believed that women are especially vulnerable to certain mental illnesses. Contemporary research confirms that women are indeed more susceptible than men to anxiety, depression, multiple personality, and eating disorders, and several forms of what used to be called hysteria.\u003cbr\u003e Why are these disorders more prevalent in women? Brant Wenegrat convincingly asserts that women's excess risk stems from a lack of social power. He reviews women's social power from an evolutionary and cross-cultural perspective and places mental disorders in the context of evolution and societal organization. In this comprehensive look at mental disorders commonly associated with women, Brant Wenegrat convincingly asserts that women's excess risk stems from a lack of social power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brant Wenegrat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 081479310X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814793107\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.17h x 5.43w x 0.55d","brand":"Brant Wenegrat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086927114495,"sku":"9780814793107","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_287f417b-b76d-4a6a-a10e-6071aa6bb931.jpg?v=1769097329","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/illness-and-power-brant-wenegrat-9780814793107","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
