Gender in the Therapy Hour: Voices of Female Clinicians Working with Men, edited by Sweet, fits well within the literature on counseling men yet also provides a fresh unique perspective. - Sex Roles Gender in the Therapy Hour is a very timely book. Most graduate students and young clinicians in the mental health fields today are women. Like my supervisees, they are thirsting for guidance on how to work with their male clients, and finding few resources. This book will satisfy that thirst. - Ronald F. Levant, EdD, ABPP, 2005 President, the American Psychological Association; Professor of Psychology, the University of Akron Every once in a while a book for clinicians comes along that makes me wonder why nobody has written it before. Dr. Sweet's compilation of the voices of savvy and respected female therapists (and one token male!) addresses the issues of women treating men in outstanding fashion. A must read for all clinicians, male and female alike! - David B. Wexler, PhD, Executive Director, Relationship Training Institute, San Diego CA
