As both therapists and the patients they treat age, the expectation that 'the best is yet to be' can be clouded by the prospect of menopause when this phase of life is shrouded in myths and misinformation. The Meanings of Menopause, edited by Ruth Formanek, illuminates this hitherto neglected phase. It offers a fascinating, comprehensive, and well-written coverage of the subject and will be of use to therapists both professionally and personally. - Frank M. Lachmann, Postgraduate Center for Mental Health, NYC Any psychiatrist who sees midlife women will have his or her horizons expanded by this volume. So will anyone who seeks to understand the historical, cultural, and biological contexts in which women live their lives. - General Hospital Psychiatry
