About the Book

The book presents a series of patient vignettes which highlight the profound effects that hormones can have on behavior. Key examples, observed by an experienced endocrinologist, illustrate the unusual and often bizarre effects of excess or deficient levels of hormones. Exposure to high amounts of male hormones can result in "steroid rage", capital murder, indecent exposure, erotic dreams, and aggressive behavior. Excess thyroid or deficient adrenal function clearly altered the behavior of two presidents of the United States during times of crisis. Deficiency of the female hormone, estrogen, can result in severe hot flashes and compensatory behavioral strategies. Rare genetic mutations result in a mismatch between natal sex and gender. Verbatim interviews provide a unique facet to allow the reader to personally relate to difficult situations caused by disordered hormone levels. The book intends to provide insight about hormones and behavior for medical students and professionals and for those interested in powerful mediators of altered behavior.

About the Author :
Dr Richard Santen, Emeritus Professor at the University of Virginia, USA, is recognized internationally as an outstanding clinical endocrinologist and researcher and is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards. He previously served as the President of the Endocrine Society, an international organization with 18,500 members. Santen has written five books and more than 400 articles, the most notable being a scientific statement on menopausal hormone therapy. His research interests have focused on the development of hormonal therapies for breast and prostate cancer. Perceived as the go-to person to evaluate patients with complicated clinical problems, he frequently sees cases with highly unusual manifestations of endocrine dysfunction. This experience has allowed him to describe in this book a large number of patients with endocrine disorders that markedly affect behavior. Noted for his teaching skills, Santen utilizes the descriptive case method and verbatim transcripts to illustrate the powerful, behavioral effects of hormones.
