From the Inside Flap

For the past thirty years, assumptions, myths, and conventional expectations about what it is to be a man, men's role, and male identity have been fundamentally challenged. Attempts have been made to discredit or reject even the most familiar aspects of traditional manhood. This era of cultural upheaval has created an atmosphere of widespread anxiety and bewilderment for men. To work effectively with male clients, mental health professionals must learn how to reach men and make the therapeutic process meaningful for clients who are, more often than not, stubbornly opposed to therapy.

The New Handbook of Psychotherapy and Counseling with Men is a compilation of information on the most current theories, research, effective treatment programs, techniques, and strategies for working compassionately and successfully with the often resistant or mandated male client. This comprehensive two-volume resource is written by an exceptional group of mental health professionals who draw on their real-life experiences of working with men facing problems in a variety of settings and circumstances.

Volume Two offers clinicians practical advice for applying a wide variety of effective formats and modalities when working with male clients, including up-to-date information about cognitive, interpersonal, and integrative therapy, as well as group and family therapy. The Handbook also contains a wealth of information on such important topics as using psycho-educational principles and approaches, women therapists who work with male clients, and the critical dynamics of a male therapist and male client. In addition, this volume is filled with practical suggestions for working successfully with men from diverse cultural, sexual, and religious backgrounds.

The New Handbook of Psychotherapy and Counseling with Men is a practical manual written for any clinician who is dedicated to helping men live lives that are satisfying, richly varied, and broadly fulfilling.
