Is He Depressed or What? What to Do When the Man You Love Is Irritable, Moody, and Withdrawn

David B. Wexler, . . New Harbinger, $15.95 (188pp) ISBN 978-1-57224-424-5

The author's work as a clinical psychologist informs this book, replete with examples from his practice. Depression isn't always obvious, and Wexler offers help on identifying various types of men who may be struggling with depression, offering tips on connecting and communicating, handling intimacy and guilt—even the question of leaving. Unfortunately, the writing is a bit clinical and not as user-friendly as it could be. (Jan.)
