First sentence: SUMMARY. This paper applies findings from recent biological research to the historical debate between nurture and nature in the construction of gender differences.
Description: "Feminist Perspectives in Medical Family Therapy explores the collaboration of therapy and medicine to form a biopsychosocial approach to health care. In this book, feminists from several fields of study present their ideas, research, and personal experiences to show how gender, culture, and other diversity issues affect medical treatment. This tool provides tips and suggestions for using an interdisciplinary medical team to work with patients' bodies, minds, spirits, and relationships simultaneously."--BOOK JACKET.
