Men in Groups: Insights, Interventions and Psychoeducational Work - Softcover

This text provides an entree into psychological work with men in groups and represents the work being done in this area. The chapters detail successful intentions for working with men in groups, from complete three-day seminars and psychoeducational workshops to techniques and strategies for less structured, ongoing groups. Each chapter focuses on a specific population of men (eg. gay, African-American, homeless, Hispanic and middle-class men) or on a specific issue that men may face, such as fathering issues or problems associated with violence. Throughout, the authors provide portrayals of how men respond and grow in this setting. This volume is intended for psychologists, psychiatrists, counsellors and paraprofessionals working with men in groups or simply for those who have an interest in men's issues.
