Publisher's Synopsis
In one comprehensive volume, the revised and abridged edition of The New Handbook of Psychotherapy and Counseling with Men offers clinicians a guide that includes the most current research, theory, effective techniques, and strategies for treating men (no matter what their background or age) in a wide variety of situations from on–the–job to in the cell block. Written by leading clinicians, educators, and researchers with vast experience in the field, this definitive handbook offers practical advice for working with male clients who are often stubbornly resisting therapy.
