| Summary: | "This book is a rich resource demonstrating effective therapy with men of diverse cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. The authors explore theories of masculinities and current research on the psychology of men and show how these ideas are applied in clinical practice. Men enter therapy less frequently than women, and when they do, therapy can be quite different than it is with female clients. Although a growing amount of research describes the mental health challenges that men face, there is little documentation of how experienced therapists working with men tailor therapy to meet their unique needs. The contributing authors of this volume remedy this situation by bringing readers into the counseling room with their male clients and describing their personal approaches. At the heart of each chapter is a case narrative, giving readers a hands-on sense of how therapy works with male clients as well as critical insight into how and why therapists make certain clinical decisions. The contributors work with men from different cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds and highlight how notions of masculinity intersect with other aspects of culture. Featuring empirical discussions throughout the volume as well as a comprehensive theory and literature survey, In the Room With Men effectively combines research, theory, and demonstrations of effective practice, making this a must-have resource for all mental health practitioners"--Jacket.
