Download or read book Transformation Through Menopause written by Marian Van Eyk Mccain and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1991-09-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [This] is by far the most wise and thought provoking book on menopause that I have ever read. It is must reading for every woman who dares to meet the challenges of menopause fully and consciously. Christiane Northrup, M.D. This volume presents a holistic, theoretical framework for understanding menopause as a major developmental event in women's lives. Rather than an unpleasant phase to be endured or alleviated, Marian Van Eyk McCain views menopause as an empowering experience that women can use for personal growth. Artfully interweaving her research, years of clinical experience, and her personal perceptions of menopause to create an inspiring new vision of the change of life. She goes well beyond a discussion of hormones and hot flashes to uncover the deep emotional and spiritual significance of this time in women's lives. This book is not only about change on a personal or physical level but in society as well. McCain lays out historical and cross-cultural beliefs about menstruation and menopause and the attitudes surrounding them (from taboos to reverence) and points out that in our modern society women most often either try to ignore or make it through this essential period of womanhood in order to compete in a man's world on male terms. In tune with recent feminist thought, the author says there is a new womanpower emerging, which means that it is time for women to honor their natural cycles. There is no other book that combines the insights, inspiration, and wealth of information contained in this work. It is an important book for the alternative-minded baby-boom generation who are seeking new ways to approach middle age.

When it comes to this confusing time in a woman's life, men around the globe continually ask the following questions: what is menopause, who is this menopausal woman, how long does this menopause "thing" last, and most importantly, what strategies can a male use to deal with these issues? Decoding the Enigma: His Guide to Her Menopause provides clear answers to these questions-and many more-from a nonmedical perspective by offering manageable approaches that can be implemented throughout the menopausal process. Psychologists Robert M. Chell, PhD, and Jane Cooper, MA, dispel commonly-held myths about menopause, including the myth that menopause begins during middle age. Many women in their midthirties begin the process known as perimenopause, the first phase of menopause. Therefore, menopause is not the sole dominion of the aging matron. Women experience menopause differently. There are some who are symptom-free and others who suffer a myriad of physiological and psychological reactions. Decoding the Enigma provides strategies for men that are specific to and consistent with the unique temperament and orientations of the women in their lives.

The only thing predictable about menopause is its unpredictability. Factor in widespread misinformation, a lack of research, and the culture of shame around women's bodies, and it's no wonder women are unsure what to expect during the menopause transition and beyond. Menopause is not a disease - it's a planned change, like puberty. And just like puberty, we should be educated on what's to come years in advance, rather than the current practice of leaving people on their own with bothersome symptoms and too much conflicting information. Knowing what is happening, why and what to do about it is both empowering and reassuring. Frank and funny, Dr Jen debunks misogynistic attitudes and challenges the over-mystification of menopause to reveal everything you really need to know about: * Perimenopause * Hot flashes * Sleep disruption * Sex and libido * Depression and mood changes * Skin and hair issues * Outdated therapies * Breast health * Weight and muscle mass * Health maintenance screening * And much more Filled with practical, reassuring information, this essential guide will revolutionise how women experience menopause - including how their lives can be even better for it!
