Summary
Summary
Taking a therapist′s perspective, this book addresses some of the primary concerns women therapists have about working with male clients. It explores essential skills and competencies and examines how female therapists can be empowered to work as effectively and confidently with men as they do with women.
The author also provides guidelines for improving clinical decision-making when planning treatment and offers specific examples of sessions designed to help male clients deal with particularly difficult issues - such as becoming more effective participants in intimate relationships.
