TLDR The book provides a guide on men's health, covering both new and traditional issues, and emphasizes a multifaceted approach to understanding and addressing these problems.

The book "Praxishandbuch Männergesundheit: Interdisziplinärer Beratungs- und Behandlungsleitfaden" from 2012, discussed the health disadvantages and issues faced by men, including mental disorders, delayed doctor visits, and distorted self-image regarding health and age. It also addressed the increasing role expectations and individual health demands of men. The book provided interdisciplinary advice and treatment strategies for problems men face, including new issues like burn-out, Dorian-Gray-Syndrome, and men's cosmetics, as well as traditional men's health topics like fertility, erectile dysfunction, and "change of life" complaints. The authors argued that men's health and health strategies can only be understood and derived from a multifactorial approach, with input from somatic, psychotherapeutic, and social epidemiological specialists.
