The authors argue that gender differences in psychotropic drug use are manifestations of the gendered construction of society as a whole, and that, as a result, women are particularly susceptible to being channelled into a state of dependency on prescribed drugs.\u003cbr\u003e Exploring current social scientific debates relating to drug users and providers, \u003cem\u003eGendered Moods\u003c\/em\u003e also provides a critical review of previous research. It is a much needed introduction to a neglected area of study.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54979292528984,"sku":"9780415082136","price":204.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415082136.jpg?v=1769652938","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/gendered-moods","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
