Summary Helping Men Change addresses, from a therapist's perspective, some of the primary concerns women have about working with male clients. It discusses the therapeutic skills and the personal competencies that are essential when women work with men, and focuses on empowering female therapists to work as effectively and confidently with men as they do with women. It provides guidelines for improving clinical decision making when planning treatment and offers specific examples of sessions designed to help male clients deal with particularly difficult issues, such as becoming more effective participants in intimate relationships. An excellent resource for family, individual, or group therapists, Helping Men Change will be of interest to psychologists, pastoral counselors, clinical social workers, and psychiatrists who provide psychotherapy, whatever the particular treatment modality with which they work. Students of clinical and counseling psychology, gender studies, and human services will also find this an important resource.
