The Palgrave Handbook of Male Psychology and Mental Health, 1st Edition, presents a scholarly handbook designed to advance theory and clinical practice in men's mental health. The volume addresses critical issues affecting men, including elevated rates of suicide and violent offending.

Coverage investigates male psychology across life stages from prenatal development through childhood, adolescence, and fatherhood. The text evaluates male experience through evolutionary, cross-cultural, cognitive, biological, developmental, and existential perspectives, highlighting practical suggestions for clinical work.

Critiquing tendencies to overlook male psychology or treat it as defective masculinity, the handbook provides researchers, clinicians, and allied professionals with constructive frameworks to support male wellbeing across the lifespan.
