A Counselor's Guide to Working with Men: Englar-Carlson/A Counselor's Guide to Working with Men

“Three renowned leaders of the profession have provided a landmark contribution to the counseling literature. Drawing from the latest research and theory about men’s development, the editors and their contributing authors express an empathic understanding about male socialization and explore why men are often reluctant to seek counseling. In a refreshingly positive manner, they address the particular needs of diverse populations of men and recommend how to modify counseling to work with men in different modalities and settings. This wonderful book is a superb resource for any counselor who works with men.” —Mark S.
