Division 51 Policy on Book Reviews

Division 51 provides book reviews for members to learn about the latest books in the field. Currently, book reviews are published on the web site because page space in the Division’s journal Psychology of Men and Masculinity (PMM) is at a premium with priority being placed on publishing manuscripts. This policy could be revisited once additional pages are allocated to PMM.

 

Persons interested in reviewing books or having their books reviewed in the Bulletin should contact the Book Review Editor. The Book Editor will exercise his or her discretion as to which book will be reviewed in any given issue based on his or her judgment about the interests of the membership and mission of Division 51. The current Book Review Editor is Dr. Jime Salcedo (), University of California, Santa Barbara Counseling and Psychological Services, Building 559, Santa Barbara, CA 93106-7030.

 

Book reviewers must assert in writing that they do not have a conflict of interest or personal relationship that would interfere with providing an objective review. The Book Review Editor will select reviewers in response to an author’s request, and the author will provide a copy of the book to the Book Review Editor.
