Varifrån kommer det destruktiva manliga beteendet, som tycks utbrett över hela världen? Är det genetiskt betingat? Hur kan det motverkas?
Allt fler röster har höjts för att uppmärksamma destruktiva normer och strukturer i relationerna mellan män och kvinnor. Likväl har forskningen om relationernas evolutionshistoria vuxit markant.
I denna bok utforskar den prisbelönade antropologen och psykologiprofessorn David M. Buss just de evolutionära aspekterna på destruktivt manligt beteende och det på samma gång så gåtfulla och naturliga i livet: hur man skaffar sig en partner.
David M. Buss är professor i psykologi, grundare av forskningsämnet evolutionär psykologi och verksam vid University of Texas i Austin. Toxisk maskulinitet är hans första bok på svenska.

Att göra kön (2003) är en bok med en ovanlig titel. Kan man GÖRA kön? Kön är väl något man bara är, eller har? Nej, det är just vad det inte är. Kön är något vi alla gör, mycket aktivt, fast inte alltid fullt medvetet. Redan som liten förstår flickan att hon tillhör den grupp som syns mest i underklädesreklamen och som tar hand om barnen. Den lille pojken förstår att han är en av dem som syns på TV när det händer något i världen och som är läkare, poliser och präster, och inte kvinnliga sådana. Men könsskapandet fortsätter hela livet. För kön finns överallt, inom oss, runt oss och mellan oss. Att göra kön är en lika underhållande som tankeväckande bok och den manar till eftertanke och förändring – alla styrs vi av vårt grundläggande psykologiska behov att vara kvinnor och män, men det går att göra kön på annat sätt. Eftersom det är vi som hela tiden gör kön så är det just vi som kan göra kön annorlunda.Det här är en print-on-demand-utgåva. Läs mer på www.albertbonniersforlag.se/pod

VINNARE AV 2017 ÅRS ROYAL SOCIETY INSIGHT INVESTMENT SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE FÖR BÄSTA VETENSKAPSBOK Könshormonet testosteron brukar figurera flitigt i debatten om biologins betydelse för människan i allmänhet och könsskillnaderna i synnerhet – så flitigt att man nästan kan börja undra vad man inte skulle kunna förklara med dess hjälp. Psykologen Cordelia Fine kallar sin bok Testosteron rex just av det skälet. Och syftar på hela den numera välbekanta berättelse om kön och samhälle som väver ihop ett antal påståenden om evolutionen, hjärnan, hormonerna och vårt beteende till en till synes plausibel helhet. Varje gång vi diskuterar könsskillnadernas betydelse eller samhällets brist på jämställdhet menar sig Testosteron rex ha tolkningsföreträde. Det tolkningsföreträdet finns det emellertid allt starkare vetenskapliga skäl att ifrågasätta. Dagens evolutionsbiologiska forskning har nämligen kullkastat grundsatser som tidigare ansågs giltiga i hela djurriket, enligt vilka hårt kämpande, låginvesterande hannar konkurrerar om skygga, vårdande honor. Den naturliga könsordningen har istället visat sig vara överraskande mångfacetterad. Våra unikt mänskliga egenskaper komplicerar dessutom berättelsen om den sexuella selektionen. Och inte heller det omtalade sambandet mellan testosteronhalt och manligt riskbeteende håller streck: könsskillnaderna i riskbeteende är små och beror i hög grad på omständigheterna. Det här är en bok om verkligheten bortom Testosteron rex. "Testosteron rex" belönades 2017 med det prestigefyllda Royal Society Science Book Prize för årets bästa vetenskapsbok. ”Fine är en säker vägvisare när det gäller vetenskapen och klarar att skriva om komplexitet utan att bli obegriplig. När man har läst färdigt har hon helt och hållet skingrat all ens kvardröjande tillit till att hormoner påverkar vårt beteende på ett enkelt dosrelaterat vis.” /Sarah Ditum, Guardian ”Föreställningar om män och kvinnor är lika gamla som mänskligheten själv, men Fines roliga och vassa bok inger en förhoppning om att vi har hört Testosteron rex ryta för sista gången.” /Annie Murphy Paul, New York Times Book Review ”[Fine] demonstrerar på ett övertygande och underhållande vis att egenskaper som risktagande, tävlingsiver och förmågan att ta om hand inte – alla stereotyper till trots – är mer centrala för det ena könet än för det andra.” /Clara Moskowitz, Scientific American

Gunnar Karlsson hävdar att det som anses som typiskt för maskulinitet i första hand är en reaktion på människans existentiella villkor, som innefattar hjälplöshet, sårbarhet och beroende. Bokens bärande tankegång är att maskulinitet är ett ouppnåeligt projekt, då den just söker undkomma de existentiella villkoren.
Maskulinitet förstås som ett avståndstagande från den moderliga omsorgen, en kompensatorisk reaktion snarare än som ett fullbordande av något naturligt givet hos ett mankön.
Med hjälp av psykoanalytiska och fenomenologiska tankegångar tar sig författaren an frågor om vad som utmärker maskuliniteten, hur den blir till och vad den försummar och går miste om.
Det maskulina projektet är en bok som vänder sig till alla med intresse för den komplexa genusfrågan, och med hjälp av psykoanalysen och fenomenologin breddar den förståelsen av maskulinitet.
Gunnar Karlsson är professor i pedagogik vid Stockholms universitet, och privatpraktiserande psykoanalytiker och psykoterapeut.
Pressröster:
"Först vill jag uttrycka min beundran för Gunnar Karlssons mod att ge sig på detta svåra, komplexa, politiskt överladdade, närmast minerade ämne. [---] Boken innehåller intressanta psykodynamiska och fenomenologiska infallsvinklar på ämnet vars rika innehåll inte går att ge rättvisa i en recension. [---] ... vill jag tacka Karlsson för en kunskapsrik bok ... Boken är ett av de viktigaste inläggen i den psykodynamiska könsdebatten på senare tid och den bör ha en stor möjlighet att bli en svensk klassiker. Med Det maskulina projektet har Gunnar Karlsson gett ett utomordentligt intressant och tankeväckande inlägg i den viktiga diskussionen om vår könsidentitet."Tomas Wånge, Leg. psykolog och privatpraktiserande psykoterapeut med relationell inriktning vid Linnéstadens Psykoterapiinstitut i Göteborg, Psykoterapi, Nr. 3, 2019, s. 49-52
Karlsson s book is a major contribution to the psychoanalytic discussions on sexes and genders and especially on the challenges of being a man. I find especially important the way Karlsson emphatically makes the distinction between sex and gender, kön och genus, as two ontologically different kinds of structures, the former being something one is, the latter rather as a project... There is much to learn from his discussion, I think, and the book should be read not only by psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, but more broadly by people interested in gender questions.

"Fascinating." - The New YorkerWhat can psychoanalysis tell us about the power and allure of fashion? Valerie Steele, author of Dress, Dreams and Desire, was described by critic Suzy Menkes as “the Freud of fashion.” In this pathbreaking book, the first cultural history of fashion and psychoanalysis, Steele does not merely hold a mirror up to fashion’s surface, she looks into its soul.A renowned fashion historian, Steele draws on key psychoanalytic concepts about the body, sexuality, and the unconscious – from the dream theories of Freud and Jung to Lacan’s mirror stage and Anzieu’s skin ego – to interpret the work of designers such as Elsa Schiaparelli, Gianni Versace, and Alexander McQueen. She explores how fashion is the lens through which we see ourselves – and how others see us. Far from being superficial, fashion can be regarded as a “deep surface” that communicates our unconscious desires and anxieties, with none of us fully aware of what we are "saying" with the clothes we wear.

Drawing on the author’s clinical work with gender-variant patients, Transgender Psychoanalysis: A Lacanian Perspective on Sexual Difference argues for a depathologizing of the transgender experience, while offering an original analysis of sexual difference. We are living in a "trans" moment that has become the next civil rights frontier. By unfixing our notions of gender, sex, and sexual identity, challenging normativity and essentialisms, trans modalities of embodiment can help reorient psychoanalytic practice.This book addresses sexual identity and sexuality by articulating new ideas on the complex relationship of the body to the psyche, the precariousness of gender, the instability of the male/female opposition, identity construction, uncertainties about sexual choice—in short, the conundrum of sexual difference. Transgender Psychoanalysis features explications of Lacanian psychoanalysis along with considerations on sex and gender in the form of clinical vignettes from Patricia Gherovici's practice as a psychoanalyst. The book engages with popular culture and psychoanalytic literature (including Jacques Lacan’s treatments of two transgender patients), and implements close readings uncovering a new ethics of sexual difference.These explorations have important implications not just for clinicians in psychoanalysis and mental health practitioners but also for transgender theorists and activists, transgender people, and professionals in the trans field. Transgender Psychoanalysis promises to enrich ongoing discourses on gender, sexuality, and identity.

‘Inferior is more than just a book. It’s a battle cry – and right now, it’s having a galvanising effect on its core fanbase’ Observer Are women more nurturing than men? Are men more promiscuous than women? Are males the naturally dominant sex? And can science give us an impartial answer to these questions? Taking us on an eye-opening journey through science, Inferior challenges our preconceptions about men and women, investigating the ferocious gender wars that burn in biology, psychology and anthropology. Angela Saini revisits the landmark experiments that have informed our understanding, lays bare the problem of bias in research, and speaks to the scientists finally exploring the truth about the female sex.The result is an enlightening and deeply empowering account of women’s minds, bodies and evolutionary history. Interrogating what these revelations mean for us as individuals and as a society, Inferior unveils a fresh view of science in which women are included, rather than excluded.

How has the meaning of manhood changed over time? A History of Virility proposes a series of answers to this question by describing a trajectory that begins with ancient conceptions of male domination and privilege and examining how it persisted, with significant alterations, for centuries. While the mainstream of virility was challenged during the Enlightenment, its preeminence was restored by social forms of male bonding in the nineteenth century. Pacifist, feminist, and gay rights movements chipped away at models and codes of virility during the next hundred years, leading to the twentieth century's disclosing of a "virility on edge," or virility as an unstable entity dispossessed of any automatic claim to power. These original essays, written by an international group of scholars including Arlette Farge, Jean-Paul Bertaud, Christelle Taraud, and Fabrice Virgili, add an intriguing sociohistorical dimension to our understanding of the evolution of virility.Unsettling received notions of political and cultural critique, these authors consider painting, sculpture, literature, film, and philosophy to expand our knowledge of fascism, nationalism, liberalism, classicism, and colonialism.

'Every parent needs to read this' Helen JoyceUntil just a few years ago, gender dysphoria – severe discomfort in one’s biological sex – was vanishingly rare. It was typically found in less than .01 percent of the population, emerged in early childhood, and afflicted males almost exclusively.But today whole groups of female friends in colleges and schools across the world are coming out as 'transgender'. These are girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered the internet community of trans 'influencers'.Unsuspecting parents now find their daughters in thrall to YouTube stars and 'gender-affirming' educators and therapists, who push life-changing interventions on young girls – including medically unnecessary double mastectomies, and hormone treatments that can cause permanent infertility.Abigail Shrier, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, has talked to the girls, their agonised parents, and the therapists and doctors who enable gender transitions, as well as to 'detransitioners' – young women who bitterly regret what they have done to themselves. Coming out as transgender immediately boosts these girls’ social status, Shrier finds, but once they take the first steps of transition, it is not easy to walk back.

'Everyone should read Down Girl. It should be distributed in schools and every board room, athletic department and legislative space' - Soraya ChemalyA transformative book on how misogyny works from a hugely influential thinkerMisogyny is a hot topic, yet it's often misunderstood. What is misogyny exactly? Who deserves to be called a misogynist? How does misogyny contrast with sexism, and why is it prone to persist - or increase - even when sexist gender roles are waning? In Down Girl moral philosopher Kate Manne argues that misogyny should not be understood primarily in terms of the hatred or hostility some men feel toward all or most women. Rather, it is primarily about controlling, policing, punishing and exiling the "bad" women who challenge male dominance. And it is compatible with rewarding "the good ones" and singling out other women to serve as warnings to those who are out of order.An incredibly forensic analysis of the logic of misogyny from a brilliant thinker, Down Girl is essential reading for the #MeToo era.

With a foreword from acclaimed psychologist, Dr Elaine Aron, comes a timely and invaluable book that will help redefine masculinity and reveal how high sensitivity can enrich men’s lives, their communities, and the lives of those who love them.Highly sensitive people think deeply, empathize instinctively, and behave in an ethical way that benefits everyone. Today, with the negative effects of ‘toxic masculinity’ and aggressive behaviour in evidence all around us, we need highly sensitive people – especially men – more than ever. Yet for men, being highly sensitive brings distinct challenges, such as gender stereotypes that portray them as too emotional or not ‘manly’ enough.Cognitive behavioural psychotherapist Tom Falkenstein offers the first psychological guide that specifically addresses highly sensitive men and those who care about them, and explores the unique advantages and obstacles they face. Drawing from his training with pioneer in the field Dr. Elaine Aron, and his own ground-breaking work, Falkenstein incorporates the most up-to-date research on high sensitivity, how it relates to male identity, and provides one-of-a-kind advice and practical tools, including: Self-assessment tests to measure high sensitivityStrategies to cope with overstimulation and intense emotionsExercises that enhance relaxation, mindfulness, and acceptanceAdvice on self-care and self-compassionTechniques to deal with situations that highly sensitive people often find difficultInterviews with men who have learned to live well with high sensitivityInsights into the key role that highly sensitive men have to play in today’s world

'A breeze of a read, makes you see our male-manufactured world a little differently' Matt Haig'GRAYSON PERRY FOR KING AND QUEEN OF ENGLAND. Imagine how BRILLIANT our country would look if he was' Caitlin MoranGrayson Perry has been thinking about masculinity - what it is, how it operates, why little boys are thought to be made of slugs and snails - since he was a boy. Now, in this funny and necessary book, he turns round to look at men with a clear eye and ask, what sort of men would make the world a better place, for everyone?What would happen if we rethought the old, macho, outdated version of manhood, and embraced a different idea of what makes a man? Apart from giving up the coronary-inducing stress of always being 'right' and the vast new wardrobe options, the real benefit might be that a newly fitted masculinity will allow men to have better relationships - and that's happiness, right?Grayson Perry admits he's not immune from the stereotypes himself - as the psychoanalysts say, 'if you spot it, you've got it' - and his thoughts on everything from power to physical appearance, from emotions to a brand new Manifesto for Men, are shot through with honesty, tenderness and the belief that, for everyone to benefit, upgrading masculinity has to be something men decide to do themselves. They have nothing to lose but their hang-ups.

'Odets's warm and lyrical voice, his inspiring picture of how imaginative gay life can be, has sent me queuing for the couch.' Evening Standard'A gay man could read this book as if his life depended on it - and perhaps it does' Andrew Holleran, author of Dancer from the DanceEven in our modern progressive world, it's not easy to be a gay man. While young men often come out more readily, even those from the most liberal of backgrounds still struggle to accept themselves and experience stigma, shame and difficulties with intimate relationships. They also suffer from ongoing trauma wrought by the AIDS epidemic, something that is all too often relegated to history.Drawing on a lifetime's work as a clinical psychologist, Walt Odets uses the stories of his patients as well as those of his own deep relationships with other gay men to illuminate how these difficulties may be overcome. From a 74-year-old who only felt able to come out after his wife had died, to the boy raised in a strict religious family who worked his way to San Francisco, to the middle-aged defence lawyer who left everything behind to embrace a new life, the experiences here explore everything from grief to survival, childhood pain to the definition of gay itself. Out of the Shadows shows us how a new way forward is possible through learning to accept ourselves and others as they are, and independently inventing our own lives.

The Etherized Wife seeks to provide a comprehensive examination of the evolution of sex therapy through the prism of gender. It focuses, in particular, on how sex therapists "treat" women's sexual problems, arguing that these practices have actually enshrined male sexuality and supremacy by advocating for heterosexual intercourse as the pinnacle of a healthy sex life. It holds that in sex, like other domains of life in which men set the standard of normality, women have been judged normal to the degree they match men's expectations. To support these claims, Margolin maps a series of case studies drawn from the sex therapy literature--the articles and books that have been, and continue to be treated as exemplar's of the discipline's collective consciousness. Through examination of case studies which focus on discrepancies in sexual desire, where the male partner wants more sex and the female wants less, the book shows how therapists have favored the male's side. The Etherized Wife shows how the sex therapy discipline has upheld male sexuality as the model of normal, natural, healthy sexuality.

The Oxford Handbook of Sexual and Gender Minority Mental Health provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of research on the mental health of sexual minorities-defined as those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, or same-gender attracted; as well as the mental health of gender minorities-defined as individuals who do not fully identify with their sex assigned at birth, including people who are transgender or gender non-binary. The twenty-first century has seen encouraging improvements in sampling, methods, and funding opportunities for research with sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations; nevertheless, a key purpose of this Handbook is to identify lingering gaps in research in order to motivate future scientists to expand knowledge about SGM mental health. The volume begins with a historical overview, followed by sections on mental health categories/diagnoses (such as anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, and suicide) and specific sexual and gender minority populations (including examinations of diverse ethnicities and orientations/identities). The handbook concludes with chapters on stigma, the role of resilience, and future directions for research with SGM groups. The volume is aimed at researchers conducting studies on the mental health of SGM populations, clinicians and researchers interested in psychiatric disorders that affect SGM populations, clinicians using evidence-based practice in the treatment of SGM patients/clients, students in mental health programs (clinical psychology, psychiatry, clinical social work, and psychiatric nursing), and policy makers.

Men are commonly expected to act "masculine" (e.g., self-sufficient, stoic, strong, dependable, brave, tough, and hard-working) while avoiding stereotypically "feminine" traits (e.g., emotional expressivity, empathy, and nurturance). Few, however, realize that these qualities--when taken to the extreme--can cause emotional constriction, substance abuse, depression, aggression, and violence in many men. Further, even though most men are not violent, decades of research has shown that masculinity is distinctly related to sexual and gun violence and men's poorer health. Considering how girls and women have benefitted from decades of conversations on navigation of their gender in a changing world, similar processes are urgently needed for boys and men. The Tough Standard connects the dots between masculinity and the present moment in American culture (defined by high-profile movements such as Me Too, March for Our Lives, and Black Lives Matter), synthesizes over four decades of research in the psychology of men and masculinities, and proposes solutions to corresponding social problems.

How do you "hook" a Millennial student into caring about women's issues when feminism has been declared dead for decades? Written in an engaging style that promotes critical thinking, Women's Issues for a New Generation is intended for freshman- and sophomore-level undergraduates who have never heard of Mary Wollstonecraft or Anita Hill. The interdisciplinary text includes three major sections: women in the U.S., women from diverse groups (e.g., Native American and disabled), and women in the global arena. It also stresses the inclusion of men in topics such as body image, since "women's issues" are really issues that affect everyone. Other striking features included the contemporary debates (e.g., War on Women and Hillary Clinton's ambitions) and the current issues such as human trafficking. Textbooks on gender and women's studies often emphasize theory with the assumption that students already know about women's history, the pay gap, and other basic information; Women's Issues for a New Generation serves as a reader-friendly bridge to more advanced analysis of women and gender. Written by a social worker, this textbook applies social work values and the strength perspective to anyone who is fighting gender inequality.

How do women create fulfilling lives? How does the identity they choose (or not choose) by the end of their college career affect how their lives unfold? For 35 years, Ruthellen Josselson has followed 26 randomly selected women who graduated from college in the early 1970s. Because these women came of age at this particular time in history, they were the trailblazers in creating new possibilities for women's lives and were among the first of the Women's Liberation Movement to take on meaningful roles in the work world. These "real" women, in contrast to the pervasive media stereotypes of the time, took on the challenge in very different ways and championed very different lives for themselves. In Paths to Fulfillment: Women's Search for Meaning and Identity, Josselson traces the stages of these women's lives and the ways in which identity, intimacy, and care for others over time leads to fulfillment, or in some cases, a lack of fulfillment. She examines the complexity of the relationship between a woman's roots, her efforts to create a unique life for herself, and how others become part of the self altogether. Josselson examines individual lives in depth for clues to understanding the strengths that help a woman to find fulfillment, and how a focus on raising the younger generation plays a role in creating this identity. With remarkable clarity and insight, Josselson challenges the common stereotypes of women, and shows how work, love, and care are all intertwined in a woman's feeling of identity.

What influences political behavior more -- one's gender or one's gendered personality traits? Certain gendered traits have long been associated with particular political leanings in American politics. For example, the Democratic Party is thought to have a compassionate, feminine nature while the Republican Party is deemed to have a tougher, more masculine nature. Masculinity, Femininity, and American Political Behavior, a first-of-its-kind analysis of the effects of individuals' gendered personality traits -- masculinity and femininity -- on their political attitudes and behavior, argues that gendered personalities, and not biological sex, are what drive the political behavior of individual citizens. Drawing on a groundbreaking national survey measuring gendered personality traits and political preferences, the book shows that individuals' levels of masculine and feminine personality traits help to determine their party identification, vote choice, ideology, and political engagement. And in conjunction with biological sex, these traits also influence attitudes about sex roles. For example, the more strongly an individual identifies with "feminine" characteristics, the more strongly they identify with the Democratic Party. Likewise, the more "masculine" an individual, the more they are drawn to the GOP. The book also demonstrates that, despite conventional wisdom, biological sex does not dictate gendered personalities. As such, the personality trait approach of the book moves gender and politics research well beyond the traditional male/female dichotomy. Moreover, Masculinity, Femininity, and American Political Behavior points to new and as yet underexplored strategies for candidate campaigns, get out the vote efforts, and officeholders' governing behavior.
