Editors Englar-Carlson, Evans, and Duffey offer this discussion of
gendered considerations that affect the dynamics of working with men in
counseling. Several prefatory sections discuss masculinity, gender
roles, and the privileges, challenges, and expectations that men
navigate and that frame their mental health. After the introduction, the
first several chapters address contexts where male clients often
require a sensitive approach, including couples' counseling, group
therapy, career instability, and health discussions. Intersections of
male identity with other identities including sexual and racial minority
status, old age and life transitions, and fatherhood are discussed
next. Counseling for military men, men with a history of trauma, and
addressing sexual violence and addiction are covered. Finally, concerns
relevant to clinical practice are treated, including the dynamics of a
female counselor with a male client and motivational interviewing
techniques. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR
