A New Psychotherapy for Traditional Men

Author: Gary R Brooks

Breaking down the barriers

Most men are trained from earliest childhood to suppress emotional distress, to avoid the subtle signals of interpersonal conflicts, to experience humiliation at the first hint of failure, and most of all, to resist asking for help. In this much-needed book, Gary Brooks shares his experience of working with resistant male clients and shows how to overcome this resistance and achieve positive results. Brooks reveals how compassion, respect, empathy, and sensitivity to men's defenses help break down barriers and make them amenable to the therapeutic process.

Booknews

Maps a strategy for engaging therapy-resistant men in the process of healing their psychological pain. Acknowledging that traditional men are often reluctant to confront their emotions and admit to vulnerability, advocates the use of empathy, gender-aware therapy, and sensitivity to men's unique cultural positioning to further the therapeutic process. Specifically addresses individual, group, family, and marital therapy techniques. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
