Doing Psychotherapy With Men: Practising ethical psychotherapy and counselling with men - Paperback

by Miles Groth Phd (Introduction by), John a. Ashfield (Author)

Doing Psychotherapy With Men is an ideal primer in how to work respectfully and appropriately with men and boys. Written by bestselling author, Dr John Ashfield, this is a book of vital importance to practitioners in the fields of psychology, psychotherapy, psychiatry, primary care, and counselling - as well as anybody concerned with health and mental health promotion. The greatest strength of the book is that it breaks free from glib ideological notions about gender and males, and draws on evidence from a broad range of academic disciplines in presenting an eminently useful male psychology. The final chapter of the book has been written by well known author and academic psychologist from the U.S.A. - Dr Scott, D. Miller (known internationally for his research and work in the field of FIT - feedback informed treatment), and a colleague, Danish psychologist, Susanne Bargmann. This is currently the only book of its kind and scope on the market, and will contribute much to improving the effectiveness of all psychosocial practitioners in engaging and working with men and boys.
