Series: The Routledge Series on Counseling and Psychotherapy with Boys and Men

This edited book looks at how a variety of female therapists understand men's issues in the context of their clinical work. Each chapter is written by a female mental health professional and explores how they got involved in men's issues, case studies and examples from their own practices that illustrate their approach, and their own assessments of what works best with male clients. Topics considered include core treatment issues, such as transference and counter-transference, beginning and ending therapy with men, and ethical dilemmas; working in different therapy modalities (group counseling, couples counseling, etc.); and doing therapy with various populations of men, such as violent men, depressed men, and men of different ethnicities. The book will conclude with an edited transcript of a discussion between the authors about their experiences working with male clients, as well as an afterword about the material in the book from the perspective of a male psychologist who is experienced in the area of men's issues.

Reviews for Gender in the Therapy Hour: Voices of Female Clinicians Working with Men

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
