A comprehensive resource for successfully treating male clients In two exhaustive volumes, The New Handbook of Psychotherapy and Counseling with Men offers clinicians a much-needed 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 a comprehensive list of clinicians, educators, and researchers with vast experience in the field, this definitive handbook offers insightful advice for working with male clients who are often stubbornly resisting to therapy. "The New Handbook is authoritative, illuminating, and clinically compelling; indeed, it is the new standard for any mental health professional treating boys and men. Absorb it, cherish it, and most of all, use it!" --John C.
